by Jacqueline E. van der Waals (1868 - 1922)

De dood als verlosser
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Kom nu met uw donker, diep erbarmen,
Eindelijke Dood.
Laat dit pijnlijk lichaam in uw armen
Rusten als het kind op moeders schoot.
Laat mij veilig door de schaduw uwer groote
Vleugelen gedekt
Slapen gaan, het moede oog gesloten
En het lichaam pijnloos uitgestrekt.

Confirmed with Jacqueline van der Waals, Laatste verzen, De Waelburgh, Blaricum 1923 (tweede druk) p. 32
