Language: French (Français)
Étonnants voyageurs ! quelles nobles histoires Nous lisons dans vos yeux profonds comme les mers ! Montrez-nous les écrins de vos riches mémoires, Ces bijoux merveilleux, faits d'astres et d'éthers. Nous voulons voyager sans vapeur et sans voile ! Faites, pour égayer l'ennui de nos prisons, Passer sur nos esprits, tendus comme une toile, Vos souvenirs avec leurs cadres d'horizons. Dites, qu'avez-vous vu ?

Ó! vzácní poutníci, jak divné upomínky
Language: Czech (Čeština) after the French (Français)
Ó! vzácní poutníci, jak divné upomínky lze čísti v očích vám, jak moře hlubokých! Nuž plné památek nám otvírejte skřínky, neb z hvězd a z étheru jsou tkané stkvosty v nich! Z nud našich vězení nás chvíli osvoboďte, vždyť cesta bez páry a plachet nejkratší! V nás duše napjata jak plátno, na ni hoďte svůj obraz, za rámec mu obzor nestačí! Nuž, co jste viděli?
