by Jan Pieter Heije (1809 - 1876)

In de eik die met bladen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
In de eik die met bladen
Haar venster omringt
Een vogelijn springt;
Zij wenschte zoo lang 
En zoo gaarne te raden 
waar't kweelend van zingt.

Wat staat gij en luistert 
met heimlijk verdriet
naar 't slepende lied?
Ik heb het zoo vaak
in u ooren gefluisterd
En weet gij't nog niet?
