P.A. de Génestet: Moeders Graf

P.  A.  d e   G é n e s t e t

(1829 – 1861)

 

M o e d e r s   G r a f 

 

Wel hem, wien God in ’t vluchtig leven

Een vrome moeder heeft gegeven, 

Want wie kan twijflen op haar graf?

v. d. HOEVEN Jr. naar LAMARTINE

 

Waar rijst, uit twijfel, zonde en smart,

Altijd, met diep gelooven,

Een ongeloovig menschenhart

Weer stille en rein, naar boven?

 

’t Is bij het graf der vrome vrouw,

Die ’t eerst ons hart bewaarde!

Begraaft gij uwer moeder trouw

Toch met geen handvol aarde.

 

Daar kan geen twijfel, die verleidt,

Des harten drang verhinderen

Het kinderoog ziet de eeuwigheid

En mannen worden kinderen.

1857
