Vaartwel! Dat schoone woord
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Vaartwel! Dat schoone woord en droevig maar voor dezen die leven zonder hope op Gods voorzienigheid! Vaartwel, en moog zoo blij de blijde welkom wezen als 't edele vaartwel, dat ik, getroost, u zeg mijn kind, als dezen zegen, dien ik op uw voorhoofd leg: vaartwel! Gaat!... weze u God voor einde en hulpe en reisgezel mijn kind, vaartwel!
