Translations
 |
Het trilt en brandt.
|
 |
Trembling and burning.
|
|
Het laait, het vuur, en met trillende tongspits likt het ten hemel,
Hoop zet gelijk de minnaar in vlam, en koortsrillen doet hem vrees. |
|
Heat increases, and with quivering point fire reaches for heaven.
At the same time the lover burns with hope, and is feverish with fear. |
|
Altijd in hoop en vrees.
|
|
De opslaande vlam beeft altijd,
De verliefde is nooit zonder vrees en zonder verwachting. |
