These words form the first line of the following poem by Olaf Douwes Dekker:

STROMEND ZILVER

de oude stad wast zich uit water omhoog
een onzichtbare hand bladert de jaren, het
gedempte zilver stroomt alle tranen droog

bruggen, bomen, klinkers en kaden trekken
de stad in haar voegen terug, door het water
de koning te rijk vloeit het leven van later
