by Josef Václav Sládek (1845 - 1912)

Lesní zvonky
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Ó zvonky, zvonky, zvonky,
ty modré zvonečky!
ty ve dne nezazvoní
květnými srdéčky.

Leč v noci, v noci, v noci,
když měsíčný je svit,
tu víl svatební průvod
vyjíždí na pažit.

Na křišťálových vozech,
zlatými kolečky;
tu zvoní, zvoní, zvoní
ty lesní zvonečky.

Confirmed with Spisy básnické: Souborné vydání ve dvou dílech, Praha, J. Otto, 1907, page 162.
