Umlklo stromů šumění
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Umlklo stromů šumění
a lístek sotva dýše,
a ptáček dřímá krásný sen
tak tichounce, tak tiše.
Na nebi vzešlo mnoho hvězd
a kolem je tak volno,
jenom v těch ňadrech teskno tak
a u srdce tak bolno.
Ve kvítků pěkný kalíšek
se bílá rosa skládá -
můj bože, a ta rosa též
se v moje oči vkrádá.

Language: English after the Czech (Čeština)
The trees are rustling softly; through
The leaves scarce moves a breeze;
The birds in blissful dreams repose,
So silent and at ease.
Many a star in heaven appears,
Around it is so free;
But in my bosom there is grief,
In my heart is misery.
Upon the petals of the flowers
The dew in splendour lies;
O God, and even so the dew
Wells up into my eyes.
