In dämmrigen Grüften
Träumte ich lang
Von deinen Bäumen und blauen Lüften,
Von deinem Duft und Vogelsang. 

Nun liegst du erschlossen
In Gleiß und Zier,
Von Licht übergossen
Wie ein Wunder vor mir. 

Du kennst mich wieder,
Du lockst mich zart,
Es zittert durch all meine Glieder
Deine selige Gegenwart.

Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
In sombere krochten
Droomde ik lang 
Van je bomen en blauwe luchten,
Van je geur en vogelzang.

Nu zie ik jou pronken 
In pracht en praal,
En 't licht op jou vonken --
Jij, voorjaars wonderzaal.

Jij kent mij van binnen,
Jij lokt mij zo zoet -- 
Een siddering stroomt door mijn zinnen,
Heerlijk gloeit van genot mijn bloed.
