't Is de Mandel
 (Sung text for setting by M. van Overeem)
 Matches original text
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
't Is de Mandel, die, in 't stille,
varend door den zomernacht,
waakzaam is en, om Gods wille,
loopt, en licht voorbij ons lacht:
lacht omdat hij blank en blij is,
lacht omdat het maantjen schijnt,
lacht omdat hij vrank en vrij is,
en hij zelf zijn wegen vindt.
