's Avonds
 (Sung text for setting by F. Agsteribbe)
 Matches original text
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
't Wordt al sterre dat men ziet
in dat hoog en blauw verschiet daar,
blijde sterren, anders niet,
in dat hoog en blauw verschiet.

't Wordt hier altijd al verdriet,
van dat oud en zwart verdriet daar,
't wordt hier altijd anders niet
als dat oud en zwart verdriet.

Laat mij, laat mij, in 't verdriet,
vliegen naar dat hoog verschiet daar,
waar men al die sterren ziet
al die sterren, ... anders niet.

    Set to music by Frank Agsteribbe (b. 1968), "'s Avonds" [ voice, reciter, piano, contrabass, violin, and cello ]
