by Joannes Reddingius (1873 - 1944)

Zomeravond
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Chosen for Diff
In de lucht was laat nog licht
bij het zonnedalen,
en de bloemen waren dicht,
en de nachtegalen 
deden luistrend leven mij 
in het stille nachtgetij .

Toefde ik waar het water liep
langs de varenveeren,
langs het water, breed en diep,
waar de waaiers geeren,
hoorde ik wilde golfjes slaan
van bewogen waterbaan.

Rusteloos en vleiend- zacht
klonk hoog- helder klaatren,
' k luisterde in den zomernacht
naar ' t gestoei der waatren,
rusteloos hun zingen klonk 
en het laatste rood verblook.

Confirmed with Joannes Reddingius, Zonnewende, Zonnebloem Apeldoorn 1919, p.33
