by Carel Steven Adama van Scheltema (1877 - 1924)

Dat is die minne die ewelic minnet
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Wat dauwt daar zoo waar de
    Zon ondergaat -?
Kind, de zon doet de aarde
    In nachtgewaad.

Wat zijn dat voor dingen
    In wei en riet -?
Kind, de krekels zingen
    Een minnelied.

Wat dragen de winden
    Voor geur zoo laat -?
Kind, de bloesem van linden
    Die opengaat.

Wat schijnen jouw oogen
    Zoo groot, zoo goud -?
Kind, dat doet dat hooge
    Vergulde woud.

Wat is - zeg - dat verre
    Zoete verdriet -?
Kind, vraag dat den sterren,
    Vraag het mij niet!
