by Guido (Pieter Theodoor Jozef) Gezelle (1830 - 1899)

Het klokgebed
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Hoe helder klinkt
de klokkentaal
[ten torren]1 uit:
tot negenmaal
herhaalt, [herhaalt]2
de klepel, op
den ronden boord,
zijn beêgeklop!

De landman laat
zijn' rossen staan:
naar huis zal hij,
en rusten, gaan!
maar, eer hij stap
van stede zet,
zoo bidt hij nog
zijn klokgebed.

Een engel naar
Maria kwam:
de boodschap hij
van 't Boetelam
[had]3 [medebracht]4:
en negenmaal
begroet haar nu
de klokkentaal.

Gods [eeuwig]5 Woord
het [licht]2 verliet
des hemels, en
Maria hiet
het moeder zijn
van Hem die, aan
den boom, voor ons
heeft boete ontvaân.

De [landman]6, na
den laatsten klop,
van bidden houdt,
van werken, op;
zijn' rossen staan
op stal weerom,
en moeder wenscht
hem willekom.
