La tombe dit à la rose
Language: French (Français)
La tombe dit à la rose : -- Des pleurs dont l'aube t'arrose Que fais-tu, fleur des amours ? La rose dit à la tombe : -- Que fais-tu de ce qui tombe Dans ton gouffre ouvert toujours ? La rose dit: -- Tombeau sombre, De ces pleurs je fais dans l'ombre Un parfum d'ambre et de miel. La tombe dit: -- Fleur plaintive, De chaque âme qui m'arrive Je fais un ange du ciel.

Hrob a růže
Language: Czech (Čeština) after the French (Français)
Hrob tmavý růži prosí: Co z perel ranní rosy ty květe lásky tkáš? — A růže k hrobu děla: Co z lidí klín tvůj dělá, jejž stále otvíráš? Dí růže: V mojím lůně jen ambry, medu vůně se z rosy udělá. A hrob dí: Stín můj tvoří, jak duše tam se vnoří, z ní nebes anděla.
Confirmed with Poesie francouzská nové doby, translated by Jaroslav Vrchlický, Praha : Ed. Grégr, 1877. pp 138.
