by Charles Polydore de Mont (1857 - 1931)
O kom met mij in den lentenacht!
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
O kom met mij in den lentenacht! Kom dwalen over de bloemenwei -- de roze sluimert, de sterre lacht, in stille droomen wasemt de hei. O kom met mij in den lentenacht. Het leeft, en het hijgt en het mint daar al! De loveren lispen, het windje smacht, en donkere wegelen lokken door 't dal. O kom met mij in den lentenacht! De heuvel glimt in den maneschijn, -- daar hellen ons hoofden te saam, zoo zacht, en gansch de natuur zal ons eigen zijn.
