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

Komt kamaraden!
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Komt, kamaraden, rond mij,
den gildengroet gegeven!
Vrij, blij, frisch en gezond zij
ons altijd lustig leven.

Ofschoon hij recht en vroed is,
den man zou 't eens verdrieten
mocht nimmer, als hij moede is,
hij rustend uur genieten.

Doch nietdoen rust het werk niet,
noch houde ik op van slaven,
zoo lang als ik mijn hert niet
aan zang en spel mag laven.

Komt, kamaraden, rond mij,
zingt luide en lang te zamen:
vrij, blij, frisch en gezond zij
ons lustig leven! Amen!
