by Gustav Pfleger-Moravský (1833 - 1875)

Zde v lese u potoka
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG
Zde v lese u potoka 
Já stojím sám a sám;
A ve potoka vlny
V myšlenkách pozírám.

Tu vidím starý kámen,
Nad nímž se vlny dmou;
Ten kámen vstoupa, padá
Bez klidu pod vlnou.

A proud se oň opírá,
Až kámen zvrhne se:
Kdy vlna života mne 
Se světa odnese?
