by Gustav Pfleger-Moravský (1833 - 1875)

Ó naší lásce nekvete
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG
Ó naší lásce nekvete
To vytoužené štěstí:
A kdyby květlo, na světě
Nebude dlouho kvěsti.

Pročby se slza v ohnivé
Polibky vekrádala?
Proč by's mě v plné lásce své
Ouzkostně objímala?

Ó trpké je to loučení,
Kde naděj nezakyne:
Tu srdce cítí ve chvění,
Že brzo bídně zhyne.
