Na horách ticho a v údolí ticho, Přiroda dříma sladký sen; A vzduchem táhne tajemné váni, Ke kmenu v lese šepce kmen. A lesy šumí v modravou dáli, Když dechne vání na lupen, Šumí a šumí dále a dále, S šuměním táhne tak mnohý sen!

Auf den Höh'n Ruhe und Frieden im Thale Träumt die Natur lieblichen Traum. Leis' zu einand' im Wehen der Lüfte Lispeln die Zweige hörbar kaum. In blauer Ferne rauschen die Wälder, Leis' bebt das Laub im Kusse der Luft; Hin in den Äther schwinden die Träume, Die holde Nacht in die Seele uns ruft.
