by Carel Steven Adama van Scheltema (1877 - 1924)

Voor jou en mij
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Nu dwalen in de avond die geuren
Ons pad voorbij -
Al die bloeiende boomen die geuren
Voor jou en mij.
 
O lieve! in de avondzon blozen
Wij allebei -
Zie al die bloemetjes blozen
Om jou en mij.
 
Hoor je die krekeltjes zingen,
Al éénerlei -?
Die liedjes, die diertjes, die zingen
Van jou en mij.
 
Zie ginder die twee gouden vensters,
Daar wonen wij -
Daar wachten twee lichtende vensters
Op jou en mij.
 
Zie die duizende sterretjes stralen
Al naderbij - -
Kind! kind! ál die sterretjes stralen
Voor jou en mij!

Confirmed with C.S. Adama van Scheltema, Eenzame liedjes, C.A.J. van Dishoeck, Bussum 1906 p.17
