by Carel Steven Adama van Scheltema (1877 - 1924)
Avondgebed
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
De avond is gevallen, De dag gaat dood, — De boomen worden allen Wonderlijk groot. In de verte, in de landen, Daar ligt wat goud, — De nacht maakt onze handen Zoo stil — zoo oud. Schoonheid hebt gij ons leven Eenmaal gekust, Dan gaan wij t' avond even Zwijgend te rust.
