Ferwûndering - is in wit net krekt
En ’t is krekt net in wit it net -
In moaie mar ek bare steat
Wa’t it net field hat libbe net -
Fertwiveling - is syn grutte Sus -
Oft Ryp Geniet no Pine jout
Of nij mistrouwen yn himsels -
Dat is de Brims dy’t jin tegnaut -
Wonder - is not precisely knowing
And not precisely knowing not -
A beautiful but bleak condition
He has not lived who has not felt -
Suspense - is his maturer Sister -
Whether Adult Delight is Pain
Or of itself a new misgiving -
This is the Gnat that mangles men -
