from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Tis noch niet laet
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Tis noch niet laet: 
Com, lieve maet!
Wi willen noch eens drinken,
Tot aen de kim 
Door nachtlike schim
De laetste ster doet blinken.
 
Den wijn gheeft jeucht, 
Den wijn gheeft vreucht,
Gheeft [lustich gheestich]1 leven,
Verweet het bloet, 
Maect versche moet
Ins levens doen ende streven.
 
Laet ons alom 
Den ouderdom
Maer uit ons herte verdriven,
Bi elken dronc 
So wordi jonc
Ende sult het altijt bliven!
