by Pieter Cornelis Boutens (1870 - 1943)
Stil, wees stil: op zilvren voeten
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Stil, wees stil: op zilvren voeten Schrijdt de stilte door den nacht, Stilte die der goden groeten Overbrengt naar lage wacht... Wat niet ziel tot ziel kon spreken Door der dagen ijl gegons, Spreekt uit overluchtsche streken, Klaar als ster in licht zoû breken, Zonder smet van taal of teeken God in elk van ons.
