Language: German (Deutsch)
[Im]1 Rhein, [im]1 [schönen]2 Strome, Da spiegelt sich in den [Well'n]3 Mit seinem großen Dome Das [große, heil'ge]4 Köln. Im Dom da steht ein Bildnis, Auf [goldnem Leder]5 gemalt; In meines Lebens Wildnis Hat's freundlich [hineingestrahlt]6. Es schweben Blumen und [Eng'lein]7 Um unsre liebe Frau; Die Augen, die Lippen, die Wänglein, Die gleichen der Liebsten genau.

In Keulen hoor ik het dond'ren
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
In Keulen hoor ik het dond'ren Ze trouwt een vent van d'r werk Vergeten lijkt het wonder Vanmorgen vroeg in de kerk. Want daar... mijn kaars verlichtte Een oud katholiek schilderij Dreef God de spot met dichters? Ik bracht mijn gezicht dichtbij... Het was Maria, dat zag je Maar Onze Lieve Vrouw... -die ogen, die lippen, die lippen, dat lachje- Ze leek vanzelfsprekend op jou.
