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

Kastanjes
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Het is een heldere dag in Mei,
De wind waait lustig, de zon schijnt blij
Op bloeiende paarse seringen,
En gouden regens in gelen tooi
En alles is zoo mooi, zoo mooi!
En alle vogels zingen!
 
En zie hoe blauw de hemel blauwt
Boven de weiden geel als goud,
De zonnige, bloeiende landen,
En zie de kastanjeboomen daar staan!
Daar groeien witte kaarsjes aan,
Wat zullen die kaarsjes aardig staan
Wanneer ze van avond branden!

Confirmed with Jacqueline van der Waals, Nieuwe verzen, G.F. Callenbach, Nijkerk 1909 p.45
