O Täler weit, O Höhen,

du meiner Lust und Wehen

O dalen wijd, o bergen

(Sung text translation for setting by V. Blodek)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

O dalen wijd, o bergen,
O prachtig diepgroen woud,

Sluit over mij je bogen,
Groen dak, nog eenmaal toe!
