by Charles Polydore de Mont (1857 - 1931), as Pol de Mont
Hou op, hou op met slapen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Hou op, hou op met slapen en schei met droomen uit! Thans wordt onze echte bezegeld, -- [gij, bleeke]1, zoete bruid! De linden zullen ruischen vol wondren vooglenzang, de sterren zullen beschijnen den zwijgenden bruiloftgang. O kom! De feeststoet nadert, de klokken luiden alreê; [ver, in de nevelen, dagen]2 de priesters, wit als snee. De [maan, -- reusachtige hostie]3, bekroont den heuvelkling -- Daar schenk ik u te pande den gouden vingerring... Hou op, hou op met slapen en schei met droomen uit. Ik prang u in mijne armen, [gij, bleeke, doode]4 bruid!
E. Tinel sets stanzas 1-3, 2, 4-5
