O Vrije, vlaamsche poësis,
gij sprankel van de dichterziel
die brandend uit den hemel viel,
gij blomme en blinkend veldgewas,
gij orgeltaal, gij wierooktas,
gij..., al dat ik niet zeggen en kan,
men kent u niet in 't eigen land
der vrije, vlaamsche poßsis!

    Set to music by Gary Bachlund (b. 1947), "O Vrije, vlaamsche poësis", 1991 [ high voice or medium voice and piano ], from Kleengedichtjes, no. 1
