by Paul van Ostaijen (1896 - 1928)

Zeer kleine speeldoos 
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Amarillis
hier is
in een zeepbel
Iris

                    hang de bel
                    aan een ring
                    en de ring
                    aan je neus
                    Amarillis

Schud je 't hoofd
speelt het licht
in de bel
met Iris
Schud je fel
breekt de bel
Amarillis

                    Waar is
                    Iris
                    Iris is hier geweest
                    Amarillis
                    aan een ring
                    en de ring
                    aan jouw neus

Wijsneus
