P.C. Boutens gedicht: Droom-huis

P.C. Boutens
(1870-1943)

 

Droom-huis

Weet ook gij dat stille diepe huis?

Achter breede blinde poort

Kruisen eindelooze gangen en portalen

Waar men tijdelooze tijden kan verdwalen

Tusschen echo’s die men klaar vermoedt en nimmer hoort.

Weet ook gij dat stille diepe huis

Door welks schaduwigen vreê

Voet zoo licht en onvermoeibaar stijgt en daalt langs treê na treê?

En zijn plotselinge helle kaamren op de maanbeglansde zee?

In den koelen en verzielden toon

Staan de dingen stil en schoon

Dingen zonder naam, maar zoo vertrouwd

Dat wij geen behoefte voelen

Hen met namen te bedoelen,

En geen klokken tellen tijds verloren goud …

U bedenken daar is u beminnen

Zuiverder dan met de blijde zinnen,

Op een dieper en ontroerder wijs

Dan u nacht of dagen kunnen geven: –

Weet ook gij dat schemerlicht paleis

Tusschen dood en leven?
