Boom

Afgeets teen die volmaan se lig

Staan ‘n boom deur die natuur getug

Van onder die grond tot hemel hoog

Uit die dieptes teen die hemelboog

 

Met of sonder ‘n blaar

Bly ek steeds na hom staar

Verwonderd wonder ek oor hom

Met watter wind het sy saad gekom

 

Deur hom sien ek die seisoen

Met sy nuwe blaartjies, groen

Hy wys my waar die wind heen waai

Wanneer ek in sy skadu baai

 

Triomfanklik troon hy hoog

Al is hy nou al tot kurk gedroog

Lê daar iewers een van sy boon

Want hy is die natuur se kroon

 

 

L.C.J. Engelbrecht
