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

o Wonderlijk mysterie groot
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
o Wonderlijk mysterie groot,
dat Gij, o God, een kind uitnoodt
om, met U zelf gespezen,
veel wijzer en veel beter en
veel grooter als Uwe Engelen,
gelijk Gij zelf te wezen!

o Mocht ik Uw en mocht Gij mijn,
en mochten wij te zamen zijn,
in 't onbekend nadezen,
mijn' ouderen en mijn' vrienden, waar
geen tijd meer is, noch dag noch jaar,
maar 't altijd eeuwig Wezen!
