Vier Boutens-liederen

Song Cycle by Johan Weegenhuise (b. 1910)

1. Eenzame nacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Uw oogen waren er niet, 
Uw stem was zoo ver, zoo ver, 
Het was een avond zonder lied, 
Nacht zonder ster. 

De stilte was zoo diep, zoo groot, 
Boven en onder en overal, 
Dat ied're windeval 
Moest brengen dood. 

Mijn ziel was als een bloem naar U 
Groot open, 
Weerloos als doodschaduw 
Ze had beslopen...

Hoe heb ik wreed verstaan 
In één stil even 
De pijn van te vergaan 
Uit dit schoon leven.

  • by Pieter Cornelis Boutens (1870 - 1943)

3. Nacht‑stilte  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Stil, wees stil: op zilvren voeten 
Schrijdt de stilte door den nacht, 
Stilte die der goden groeten 
Overbrengt naar lage wacht... 
Wat niet ziel tot ziel kon spreken 
Door der dagen ijl gegons, 
Spreekt uit overluchtsche streken, 
Klaar als ster in licht zoû breken, 
Zonder smet van taal of teeken 
God in elk van ons.
