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

Als de appels bloeien
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Als de appels bloeien,
  - de schoone maand! -
en 't gers, aan 't groeien,
  de wegen baant,
de zoele winden
  zie 'k geren gaan
en blommen vinden,
  die openstaan.

Als, uit aan 't stroomen,
  half bloed, half melk,
zijn de appelboomen,
  zoo een, zoo elk;
als weeke zijde
  de takken blomt,
dan ben ik blijde:
  de zommer komt!

Als alle lieden,
  die gaan en staan,
"goendag!" mij bieden
  en spreken aan,
dan snoere en binde ik
  mijn' kommernis:
dan ondervinde ik
  dat 't zommer is!
