by Guido (Pieter Theodoor Jozef) Gezelle (1830 - 1899)
Winterstilte
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Een witte spree ligt overal gespreid op 's werelds akker; geen mensche en is, men zeggen zou, geen levend herte wakker. Het vogelvolk, verlegen en verlaten, in de takken des perebooms te piepen hangt, daar niets en is te pakken! 't Is even stille en stom alhier aldaar; en, ondertusschen, en hoore ik maar het kreunen meer, en 't kriepen, van de musschen.
Spelling changes used by Nees: zeggen -> zegge
