Eugene Marais: Wanneer dit reën op Rietfontein

E u g e n e   M a r a i s

(1871-1936)

 

Wanneer dit reën op Rietfontein

 

Wanneer dit reën op Rietfontein

en deur die stof ‘n straal van groen verskyn…

dan sit oom Gysbert op die stoep alleen

Hy adem sag die geur

gemeng van stof en reën…

Van agter uit die groot kombuis

Kom daar aanhoudend die gesuis

Van kole op die vuurherd aangeblaas

Van pot en pan die klinkende geraas –

Dis net so seker as die boek,

Tant Malie bak nou pannekoek!
