Sheet music with ten (of twelve) quatrains from a poem written by Bart van de Veluwe (pseudonym for the teacher, poet, and writer Bartholomeus van Mourik [1872–1957]). The poem is based on Kuyper’s meditation upon Isaiah 1:18 (“your sins shall be white as snow”), which was published in De Heraut, no. 1208, February 25, 1901. The poet sent his poem to Kuyper and in De Heraut, no. 1210, March 10, 1901, these ten quatrains were included with the following introductory and concluding lines: “A reader sent us back our meditation about ‘white as snow’ in poetic form. Listen to what he sang …. It was a privilege to read this poem. It shows us that our word touched a heart. And for anyone who writes, that is the richest reward. A.K.”

The poem is also printed in a collection of Bart van de Veluwe’s poems entitled Na de pauze (Kampen: Ph. Zalsman, 1909, pp. 6–8), which includes four other poems inspired by Kuyper’s meditations.
