Harriet Laurey: Uiteindelijk

Harriet Laurey

(1924–2004)

Uiteindelijk

 

Blijf nu voorgoed in mij gestorven;

want dit is een onschendbaar graf.

Ik heb U eindelijk verworven.

Ik sta U niet meer af.

 

Houd nu voorgoed Uw oog gesloten

over het laatst-gespiegeld beeld,

dat op Uw netvlies ligt gebroken

en niet meer heelt.

 

Mijn aarde streelt U overal.

Mijn diepte vult zich met Uw droom,

– Uw wezen, eindelijk verlost -,

 

die ik eenmaal vertalen zal

in liefde’s teder idioom:

gras, bloemen, vochtig mos.

 

(uit: Triple alliantie, 1951)
