Moi Theo,

Ik speule tegenswoordig ok nog wel verstopperien mit mien kleinkiender en ok
dan roept ik nog altied "kiekeboe en koekoek"

Een gedicht van William Wordsworth (1770-1850) aover de Koekoek.

To the Cuckoo

O blithe new-comer! I have heard,
I hear thee and rejoice
O Cuckoo! Shall I call thee bird,
Or but a wandering voice?

While I am lying on the grass
Thy twofold shout I hear,
>From hill to hill it seems to pass,
At once far off, and near.

Though babbling only to the vale,
Of sunshine and of flowers
Thou bringest unto me a tale,
Of visionary hours.

Thrice welcome, darling of the Spring!
Even yet thou art to me.
No bird, but an invisible thing,
A voice, a mystery:

The same whom in my school-boy days
I listened to that cry.
Which made me look a thousand ways
In bush and tree and sky.

To seek thee did I often rove
Trough woods and on the green.
And thou wert still a hope, a love
Still longed for, never seen.

And I can listen to thee yet,
Can lie upon the plain.
And listen, till I do beget
That golden time again.

O blessed bird! The earth we pace,
Again appears to be.
An unsubstantial, faery place!
That is fit home for Thee.

Goodgaon,
Arend Victorie
