Zes Slauerhoff-liederen

Song Cycle by Wim Franken (b. 1922)

1. In mijn leven
 (Sung text)

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
In mijn leven steeds uitgerukt
Door de vlagen waar 'k aan blootsta,
Daar 'k niet hechten aan liefde en geluk
Die mij zullen drijven tot ik doodga,
Onstaan soms plotsling enkle plekken
van een stilte zoo onaangedaan,
Dat ik geloof in slaap te zijn gekomen
Bij de diepten waar geen onderstroomen
Meer door 't eeuwig stilstaand water gaan

4. Voor de verre prinses
 (Sung text)

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Wij komen nooit meer saam: 
De wereld drong zich tussenbeide, 
Soms staan wij beiden 's nachts aan 't raam, 
Maar andre sterren zien we in andre tijden. 

Uw land is zoo ver van mijn land verwijderd: 
Van licht tot verste duisternis - dat ik 
Op vleuglen van verlangen rustloos reizend, 
U zou begroeten met mijn stervenssnik. 

Maar als het waar is dat door groote droomen 
Het zwaarst verlangen over wordt gebracht 
Tot op de verste ster: dan zal ik komen, 
Dan zal ik komen, iedren nacht.
