Als de ziele luistert
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Als de ziele luistert spreekt het al een tal dat leeft, 't lijzigste gefluister ook een taal en teeken heeft: blâren van de boomen kouten met malkaar gezwind, baren in de stroomen klappen luide en welgezind, wind en wee en wolken, wegelen van Gods heiligen voet, talen en vertolken 't diep gedoken Woord zoo zoet.... als de ziele luistert!
