by Vítězslav Hálek (1835 - 1874)

Mně zdálo se
 (Sung text for setting by A. Dvořák)
 Matches original text
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Mně zdálo se, žes umřela;
slyšel jsem zvonit hrany,
a pláče bylo, kvílení
a nářku na vše strany.

Tak divně Ti tam ustlali!
Na hrob Ti kámen dali
a abych na něj napsal verš
mne vlídně požádali.

Ó lidé, lidé z kamene,
zde srdce mé si mějte,
a co jsem ještě nezpíval,
to do kamene vrejte.

Mé lásce jste nevěřili
a zhrdli mými slovy,
když bude kámen mluvit k vám,
snad vám to lépe poví.
