Tak mne kouzle ondy jala

Tak mne kouzlem ondy jala
tam v besídce ružové,
že se téměř ruznem dala 
pamět má i smyslové.

Slova stíhám řeči matu
posléz a co davno znám,
opět milém u záchvatu
či mne miluje se ptám.

Nevím, růže zavzdychnuly,
čili rtové pošeptnuly
pnouce k mým se ústům bliž,
třikrát slad'ounké: "Ty viš!"
