Mondnacht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mondenschein hat sich ergossen Über diese stille Welt. Wär' mir heute zum Genossen Doch ein lieber Freund gesellt! Jenen Berg möcht' ich besteigen, Wo sich Tann' an Tanne drängt, Schauen, ob in ihren Zweigen Mondlicht oder Silber hängt.

Dívčí sny
Language: Czech (Čeština) after the German (Deutsch)
Na tichý kraj měsíc bílý kolkolem svou zář vlil. Chtěla bych by přítel milý ke mně se dnes přidružil Na strán bych s ním vyjít chtěla stuleny kde jedle sní. Zda se v jejich větvích bělá luny zář či stříbro chví.
