by Pieter Cornelis Boutens (1870 - 1943)
Sterrenhemel
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Nu kunt gij veilig slapen gaan, Nu al de heemlen openstaan: Ziel, wier verlangen elken donkren wand In ster aan ster doorzichtig brandt, En in de schoonheid van dit tijdlijk land Al minnen moet uw eeuwig lot, Daar uw verrukking uitziet tot Den troon van God.
