Dnes do skoku a do písničky! Dnes pravá veselka je boží, dnes celý svět a všecko v párku se vedou k svatebnímu loži. Ve zvonku květném mušky tančí, pod travou brouček křídla zvedá, a vody šumí, lesy voní, a kdo je nemá, srdce hledá. Na nebi zapalují svíce, na západě panenské rdění, a slavík již to ohlašuje, ten velkněz, u velebném znění. Dnes velká kniha poesie až dokořán je otevřena, dnes každá struna všehomíru na žert i pravdu natažena. A nebe skví se, vzduch se chvěje, dnes jedna píseň světem letí, dnes zem a nebe jeden pohár, a tvorstvo při něm ve objetí.

Today we shall leap into song! Today the just God prepares a feast, today the whole world and everything outside leads to the wedding bed. In flower bells, mayflies dance, beetle wings flap in the grass, and waters whisper, forests are fragrant, and [whoever] longs for something, searches [his] heart. In heaven the candles are lit, the West [glows] a virginal red, and the nightingale calls, like a priestess, with reverent voice. Today the great book of poetry is wide open on the world’s altars, today every thread in the world in jest and truth is stretched. And heavens shine, breezes whisper, today every song rings joy throughout the world, today earth and heaven are one chalice, from which we shall drink gladness.
