by Willem Johannes Theodorus Kloos (1859 - 1938)

Nauw zichtbaar wiegen op een lichten...
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Nauw zichtbaar wiegen op een lichten zucht
De witte bloesems in de scheemring - ziet,
Hoe langs mijn venster nog, met ras gerucht,
Een enkele, al te late vogel vliedt.
 
En ver, daar ginds, die zacht-gekleurde lucht
Als perlemoer, waar ied're tint vervliet
In teêrheid.., Rust - o, wonder-vreemd genucht!
Want alles is bij dag zóó innig niet.
 
Alle geluid, dat nog van verre sprak,
Verstierf - de wind, de wolken, alles gaat
Al zacht en zachter - alles wordt zoo stil...
 
En ik weet niet, hoe thans dit hart, zoo zwak,
Dat al zóó moê is, altijd luider slaat,
Altijd maar luider, en niet rusten wil.
