by (Stephanie) Hélène Swarth (1859 - 1941)

Troost
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
O neem mij aan uw trouwe borst,
Waaraan ik altijd weenen dorst!

En zeg geen woord dat troost of lacht,
Maar laat mij rusten, kalm en zacht. 

Mijn ziel is droef, mijn hart is moe ...
Ik doe maar liefst mijn oogen toe.

Maar doe ik al mijn oogen dicht,
Ik zie alom zijn aangezicht.

En ' t is of mij zijn blik verweet,
Dat ik zijn eeden niet vergeet.

Confirmed with Hélène Swarth, Poëzie, Amsterdam Van Kampen en zoon 1892 p.52
