't En is van u

't En is van u
[hiernederwaard]1,
geschilderd [of]2
geschreven,
mij, moederken,
geen beeltenis,
geen beeld van u
gebleven.

Geen teekening,
geen lichtdrukmaal,
geen beitelwerk
van steene,
['t en zij]3 [dat]4 beeld
in mij, dat gij
gelaten hebt,
alleene.

o [Moge]5 ik, u
onweerdig, nooit
die [beeltenis]6
[bederven,
maar eerzaam laat
ze leven in
mij, eerzaam in
mij sterven]7.
