by Gustav Pfleger-Moravský (1833 - 1875)
Zde v lese u potoka
Language: Czech (Čeština)
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?
