Kalina

Proč kalino v struze stojíš?
Zda-li ty se sucha bojíš?

Kdybych já se sucha bála,
ještě bych já hlouběj stála.

Proč kalino kalin nemáš
a jimi se červenala.

Svrchu ptáci ozobali,
z důli panny olámaly.

Každá panna hochu svému
a já smutná nemám komu.

Ach, kdybych já komu měla,
byla bych si přispíšila.
