Amat nemus et fugit urbes.
Horat.
Es rieselt, klar und wehend,
Ein Quell im Eichenwald;
Da wähl' ich, einsam gehend,
Mir meinen Aufenthalt.
Mir dienet zur Capelle
Ein Gröttchen, duftigfrisch;
Zu meiner Klausnerzelle
Verschlungenes Gebüsch.
...
Nichts unterbricht das Schweigen
Der Wildniß weit und breit,
Als wenn auf dürren Zweigen
Ein Grünspecht hackt und schreyt,
Ein Rab' auf hoher Spitze
Bemooster Tannen krächzt,
Und in der Felsenritze
Ein Ringeltäubchen ächzt.

Amat nemus et fugit urbes.
Horat.
Er murmelt, helder kabb'lend
Een bron in 't eikenwoud;
Daar gun ik, eenzaam wand'lend,
Mijzelf een oponthoud.
'k Ga als kapel gebruiken
Een grotje, luchtig, fris;
Als kluiz'naarscel wat struiken,
Vervlochten tot een nis.
...
Niets onderbreekt het dromen
Der ruigte wijd en zijd
Dan als op dorre bomen
Een spechtje hakt en krijst;
Een raaf, heel hoog gezeten,
Krast van 'n sparrentop,
En in de rotsenspleten
Koert 'n houtduifje luidop.
