Haar huis was hoog en lichtend alle ramen
waarachter haar gestalte soms verscheen
om die te mogen spiegelen alleen
had ik als ruit mij graag willen bekwamen.
Glashelder water sprong uit droge steen,
de dingen werden nieuw en kregen namen
de hazen en de edelherten kwamen
en dansten voor me uit en om me heen.
Ze heeft het nooit geweten of van verre
doordat ze me zag lopen langs de sterren,
zo moederziel alleen en zo verliefd.
O, feen van dit lieve leven
als mij nog iets te wensen is gegeven
mag dit dan nog eens over, alstublieft.
O, lieve feen van dit leven
als mij nog iets te wensen is gegeven,
mag dit dan nog eens over, alstublieft
