Gelukkig Kind
 (Sung text for setting by E. van Nieuwenhove)
 See original
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
  Gelukkig kind,
dat ligt en laat geworden
  al 't geen den mensch
zoo driftiglijk beroert!
 
  Gelukkig kind,
dat niet en peist op morgen,
  dat alles mint,
en nijdig niets beloert!
 
  Gelukkig kind,
dat elken stap in 't leven
  een stap vernaarst
aan 't heilig kinderland!
 
    Gelukkig kind,
  'k zou  ...  alles geven
voor uw geluk, mijn kind, dat ligt en roert in 't zand!
Spelling changes used by Roosbroeckx : peist -> peinst; elken -> elke
Spelling changes used by Van Nieuwenhove: vernaarst -> vernaast
