Our translations: ENG
Magdalena, en de heilige vrouwen: Waar gaat Hij heen, dien 't herte mijn bemint? In welke handen, gevallen, moet Hij leed en pijn gedoogend en verdragend zijn, o schand der schanden? Gebonden zie 'k Hem henengaan, gevonnist en verwezen aan den galgeboom te sterven! o Gij, die God zijt, laat Gij nu Uw' kinderen onterven van 't hemelsch licht? - Wij volgen U, want, daar Gij gaat en zal, gewis, bedriegen ons de duisternis.
