Treue Liebe dauert lange,
Überlebet manche Stund',
Und kein Zweifel macht sie bange,
Immer bleibt ihr Mut gesund.
Dräuen gleich in dichten Scharen,
Fordern gleich zum Wankelmut
Sturm und Tod, setzt den Gefahren
Lieb' entgegen, treues Blut.
Und wie Nebel stürzt zurücke,
Was den Sinn gefangen hält
Und dem heitern Frühlingsblicke
Öffnet sich die weite Welt.

Trouwe liefde duurt niet even,
Overleven kan zij goed,
En geen twijfel doet haar beven,
Altijd houdt zij goede moed.
Dreigen plots in dichte scharen,
Leiden plots tot wank'le moed
Storm en dood, treedt de gevaren
Trouw met liefde tegemoet.
En als nevel gaat dan wijken
Wat de geest gevangen houdt
En voor ogen die blij kijken
Open zich de wereld vouwt.
