by Anthoni Christiaan Winand Staring (1767 - 1840)

Aan de Maan
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Toon ons uw luister, o zilveren Maan!
       Rijs uit het meer.
   Lach den zwervenden scheepling aan.
Straal, op 's wandelaars donkere baan,
     In uw lieflijkheid neêr.

Waar zonder hoop de Verlatene smacht,
        Schemere uw gloor.
   Waar, naar troosteleze afscheidsklagt,
Blij hereenen de Minnenden wacht,
     Breke uw glinstering door.

  Schoon is de Dag, als zijn purpere gloed
     Vorstelijk stijgt; --
  Als hij zingend de ontwaakten groet!
Maar uw komst is den peinzenden zoet,
    Gij, die flonkert - en zwijgt!
