Flammenauge, dunkles Haar,
Knabe wonnig und verwogen,
Kummer ist durch dich hinein
in mein armes Herz gezogen!
Kann in Eis der Sonne Brand,
sich in Nacht der Tag verkehren?
Kann die heisse Menschenbrust
atmen ohne Glutbegehren?
Ist die Flur so voller Licht,
daß die Blum' im Dunkel stehe?
Ist die Welt so voller Lust,
daß das Herz in Qual vergehe?

Glinsteroë, donkerkop
Language: Afrikaans after the German (Deutsch)
Glinsteroë, donkerkop,
kêrel flink en fris en kloek,
deur jou toedoen het verdriet
my gewonde hart besoek!
Kan die ys die son se brand,
kan die nag die dag vervang?
Kan ʼn warm mens asem haal
sonder om ooit te verlang?
Is die veld so vol van lig
dat die blom in donker staan?
Is die wêreld so vol lus
dat die hart in smart vergaan?
