At the very braking of the new orange-red day
the sun sneaked over the hillocks into the sky,
birds were twittering, chirping some did play,
that scene was full of tranquillity on the eye.
...
(after Herman Gorter)
For moments you stand silent before me
and I want to tell you about the depth of my love
...
(after William Shakespeare)
Away from me in pain you were roaming,
where of your inner thoughts I do not know
...
(after Lucebert)
In the veldt with you I did become vulnerable
when you made all of my protection insignificant,
...
Where constantly I am trivial against angry enemies,
You do come to the rescue and give my life new meaning
and where nowadays people do view themselves as gods
I do know that in your omnipotence You do press me to Your chest
...
(after Totius)
You plant me like a tree at a place where there is water
of every word, act and urge of mine You do bare knowledge
...
