't Meezeken
 (Sung text for setting by L. De Vocht)
 See original
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Daar hipt en wipt, den tak omtrent,
een pimpermeesk', half zonneblend;
en 'k hoor zijn bekske, naaldefijn,
herhalend en herhalend zijn,
hoe 't blijde en hoe 't ja vromer is,
nadien 't nu eenmaal zomer is.
Ja-wel, mijn kleentje, en meê met u,
zoo hipt mijn herte en wipt het nu,
vol hope, omdat 't weêr zonneschijn
verblijden zal, en zomer zijn!
