Dutch/Example 7

Mei
Herman Gorter (Wormerveer, 26 november 1864 - Brussel, 15 september 1927) wrote a -rather lengthy- ode to the month of May in 1889; here are the first few lines. The very first line is more or less a saying now, meaning something like: someone is making some changes here! The spelling is pre-1947 and the differences with today are given in blue.
