by Joannes Reddingius (1873 - 1944)
Kindje wat ben je toch zacht
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Kindje wat ben je toch zacht, kopje van tintelfijn goud, pret-mondje glundert en lacht of je vertellen wat woudt. Oogelijns helder en rein glinstren, wanneer ik ze zoek mijmrend van boven mijn boek in dit hel-blije festijn. Kindje, mijn kindje van licht, wonderlijk wonder, ik wil kussen je zachte gezicht, o zoo voorzichtig en stil.
