by Vítězslav Hálek (1835 - 1874)

Tak jak ten měsíc v nebes báň
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Tak jak ten měsíc v nebes báň
tak láska v srdce vchází,
a tajný bol a tichý žal
ji v chůzi doprovází.

A co dřív člověk netušil,
v tom šerém světle spatří,
a tajný bol a tichý žal
se divně v písni sbratří.

Leč mnohá též se bouře zlá
v ubohém srdci shlukne,
a než ji v písni vysloví —
jak mnohé srdce pukne!
