by Carel Steven Adama van Scheltema (1877 - 1924)

Cupidootje
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Cupidootje,
Speelgenootje
Ach, wat schoot je
 Weer bijzij!
Altijd zeilt je
Scherpe pijltje
 Juist mijn kloppend hart voorbij!

Nooit es deert je
Gauw geweertje
Dan een veertje
 Van mijn hoed, -
En ze zeiden:
"Die verdijde
 Kleine jongen schiet zo goed!"

Of - zeg, schiet je,
Deugenietje
Met een rietje
 Zonder punt?
Want ik zie et
Wel op wie et
 Telkens toch weer is gemunt!

Liefdegodje
Wat bedot je
Vinnig schotje
 Mij zoo vaak?
Word es wakker
Kleine rakker -
 Cupidootje - - schiet es raak!
