O kom met mij in den lentenacht!
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
O kom met mij in den lentenacht! Kom dwalen over de bloemenwei; de rose sluimert, de sterre lacht, in stille droomen wasemt de hei. O kom met mij in den lentenacht! Het leeft, en hijgt en het mint daar al! De loveren lispen, het windje smacht, en donk're wegen lokken door 't dal. O kom met mij in den lentenacht! De heuvel glimt in den manenschijn, Daar hellen ons hoofden te zaam zoo zacht en gansch de natuur zal ons eigen zijn!

O come with me in the summer night
Language: English  after the Dutch (Nederlands)
O come with me in the summer night We'll roam hand in hand, over field and lea; The roses slumber, the stars are bright And calmly dreaming lie earth and sea. O come with me in the summer night, There love weaves its spell, all its bliss and woe; The breezes whisper of sweet delight, And pleasant paths entice us to go. O come with me in the summer night, The hilltops are glowing resplendently, While o'er thy fair head streams mellow light; And nature thine own, all thine own shall be
From the Van der Stucken score
