by Maurits Sabbe (1873 - 1938)

In 't gras
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Ik keuvelde stil met de wiegende bloemen 
terwijl ik in 't gras op mijn eentje zat
En heimelijk dorst ik hen ' t lieveke noemen
aan wien ik mijn harte geschonken had

Al hadde ik het nog eens zoo stil gefluisterd
dit hartbekorend liefdewoord,
het dartele windeke had het beluisterd
en zei het dan zachtjes den vogels voort

En alles begon van minne te zingen
en lievekens name klonk door in 't lied
Maar toch kon de blijheid in 't hart  mij niet dringen
want enkel mijn lieveken hoorde 't niet
