by Wilhelm Ange François Bastiaanse (1868 - 1947)

Ik heb U lief," herhaal ik zacht
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
"Ik heb U lief," herhaal ik zacht,
"Ik heb U lief" en duizend malen
Schijnt mij dat lichtend woord te stralen
In 't diep van den bestarnden nacht.

Hoe stil in 't rond; voor 't eerst wij beiden
Sinds ik u zag, voor kort van een,
Nog slechts één enkelen dag van u gescheiden
En.... 't is me als gingen jaren heen.
