by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Lied van Mignon
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Kent gij het land waar de citroenen bloeien
in 't donker loof de gouden appels gloeien
een zachte wind in reinen hemel suist
De myrte prijkt en hoog de lauwer ruischt
Daarheen laat ons getwee'n
O mijn geliefde vlien!
