\n\"\"<\/a>Ik sjoch dy better -<\/nobr> yn de Nacht -
\nLjocht nedich haw Ik net -
\nDy leavje - is in Prismagl\u00eas -
\nOertreft it Fiolet -<\/p>\n

Ik sjoch dy better troch de Tiid
\nDy\u2019t him dertusken wrot -
\nIn Kompelslampe - is gen\u00f4ch -
\nEn ban de Mynskacht fuort -<\/p>\n

It b\u00east sjoch Ik Dy - yn it Gr\u00eaf -
\nSyn Skotsjes glimme op -
\nHiel roazich - fan it Ljocht dat Ik,
\nFoar Dy, heech holden haw -<\/p>\n

Wa hat Ferlet fan Dei -
\nWaans Nacht - in Sinne - sa yn baarnt -
\nAs toevet sy - oan ien Tried wei -
\nBy de Meridiaan?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I see thee better -<\/nobr> in the Dark -
\nI do not need a Light -
\nThe Love of Thee - a Prism be -
\nExcelling Violet -<\/p>\n

I see thee better for the Years
\nThat hunch themselves between -
\nThe Miner\u2019s Lamp - sufficient be -
\nTo nullify the Mine -<\/p>\n

And in the Grave - I see Thee best -
\nIt\u2019s little Panels be
\nA\u2019glow - All ruddy - with the Light
\nI held so high, for Thee -<\/p>\n

What need of Day -
\nTo Those whose Dark - hath so - surpassing Sun -
\nIt deem it be - Continually -
\nAt the Meridian?<\/p>\n
