by Guido (Pieter Theodoor Jozef) Gezelle (1830 - 1899)

Daar liep een dichtje in mijn gebed
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Daar liep een dichtje in mijn gebed,
en 'k wilde 't aan den kant gezet,
maar, niet te doen, het wilde en 't zou
mij plagen, als ik bidden wou!
En nu is mijn gebed gedaan,
en 't dichtje is 'k weet niet waar gegaan:
vergeefs gezocht, vergeefs, o wee,
'k en vinde noch rijm noch dichtje meer!
