by Jaroslav Vrchlický (1853 - 1912)

Hudba
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Hudba jesti tepna všehomíra,
rytmus klíč jest k věčným záhadám;
celá příroda jest velká lyra,
pták a motýl, strom a slunce plan tóny jsou,
jež do akordů sbírá.

Perla cit, myšlénka drahokam,
Mrtvy jsou, když věnec nezavírá
Jako démant a nezáří tam hudba.
 
Labuti má, jež, kdy noc je čírá,
jitru pěješ vstřic a navzdor tmám,
za tvou píseň co ti v odvet dám?
Slovo, ach, je vlaštovice sirá,
fénix však je, a ten neumírá,
hudb, hudba, hudba, hudba!
