by Václav Hanka (1791 - 1861)
Opuščená
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Ach, vy lesi, tmaví lesi, lesi miletínstí! Čemu vy se zelenáte v zimě, letě rovno? Ráda bych jáz neplakala, nemútila srdce; a řekněte, dobrí ludie, kto by neplakal zdě? Kdě mój otčík, otčík milý, zahřěben vrovece. Kdě moje máti, dobrá máti? Travka na něj roste. Ni mi bratra, ni mi sestry, junošu mi vzechu.

Note: from the Rukopis královédvorský, or the Dvůr Králové Manuscript, claimed by Hanka to be a 13th-century manuscript he had discovered but regarded by modern scholars as an elaborate forgery by him.
