 See original
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ach, het zijn wel weer die ogen,
Die mij eens zo vriend’lijk groetten,
En het zijn ook weer die lippen
Die het leven mij verzoetten.

Ook die stemklank is het wel weer,
Die ‘k zo graag eens heb vernomen!
Maar ik zelf, ik ben het niet meer;
‘k Ben veranderd thuisgekomen.
