About This Book

The collection gathers short lyric poems that move between contemplative calm and turbulent passion, using concise, musical lines and recurring images of sea, wind, seasons, and evening light. Many pieces voice longing, solitude, and consolation, often addressing a beloved or a singing presence while alternating hope and resignation. Natural phenomena—waves, storms, dawn, and autumn decay—serve as metaphors for inner states. Occasional sonnets and mythic or spiritual invocations broaden the formal range. Overall the poems emphasize sensory detail and melodic rhythm to explore memory, desire, and the search for solace amid change.

XX.

Hoar giet it jountiids-let oer jounge groun.
Hiel dizze simmer-dei ha ’k bodde; d’ ierde
Dreau my ta wirk; ’k mocht der gjin stoun fen skiede
En meanend, swyljend, rispjend gyng ik roun.

In kenings-nocht! Ik skrepte yn ’t ljocht; ik woun
Myn holle in krâns fen hea en kûkúts-blommen;
’t Swit dripte my; ik haw gjin tiid fornommen—
Nou rêst ik hwet, hwent noegjend komt de joun.

En yn dit jountiids-let is wûndre wille,
In nocht sa great, det ik forstean ’t hast net;

Myn hannen, sêft fen jounich ljocht oertrille,
Bin fâlde en gear, en ’k jow my ta gebet:

En tinkljend, twinkljend klinkt it, stil yn ’t stille:
„Wêz groete, ljeafste”, it hillich jountiids-let.
