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.

De Maitiid kaem: ik haw myn keamer sletten,
Hwent mei de minsken gyngste en glimkest, bliid;
For my wier ljeafde dea en hiel de tiid
Do’t alles nij waerd neffens iiv’ge wetten.

It jier waerd ryp, en oan de jounloft bletten
De wolkens roazich-rea; de wrâld stie swiid
To prieljen yn it pronkjend ljocht—en Niid
En Hate en Hjerst haw ik earst do forgetten.

Oktober glimke kâld, myn ljeafde bloeide
En woechs al krêft’ger tsjin it friezen yn,
Hwent yn dyn eagen fielde ik fjûr, det gloeide.

Nou soargje ik skielk for dy, en d’ iizge wyn
Wykt krêftleas for de moed, dy’t yn my groeide;—
It dûrret lang, ear’t ik dyn ljeafde fyn.
