by Carel Vosmaer (1826 - 1888)
In 't avondduister dwaal ik
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
In 't avondduister dwaal ik Den weg op langs haar huis; Van liefde lispt het maanlicht Met 't popelbladgesuis. Dat huis is 't heilgenschrijntje, Waar 't heiligje in woont, Dat wondren doet en liefdrijk Mijn eeredienst beloont. Wanneer 'k hier kom aanbidden En siddrend opwaarts zie, Dan glanst er een aureole, Om 't huis, van poëzie.
