'k En hoore u nog niet
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
'k En hoore u nog niet, o nachtegale, en de paaschzunne zit in 't oosten; waar blijft gij zoo lange, of hebt gij misschien vergeten van ons te troosten? 't En zomert, 't is waar, 't en loovert, 't en lijdt geen bladtje nog uit de hagen; 't zit ijs in den wind, 't zit sneeuw in de lucht, 't is stormen, dat 't doet, en vlagen. Toch spreeuwt het en vinkt het luide, overal; de merelaan lacht en tatelt; het muscht en het meest, het koekoet, in 't hout; het zwaluwt en 't zwiert en 't swatelt. Waar blijft hij zoo lang; de nachtegale; en vergeet hij van ons te troosten? 't En zomert nog niet, maar zomeren zal 't: de Paaschzunne zit in 't oosten.
