If I walk in Autumn's even

If I walk in Autumn's even While the dead leaves pass, If I look on Spring's soft heaven, -- Something is not there which was Winter's wondrous frost and snow, Summer's clouds, where are they now?

Verše
Language: Czech (Čeština) after the English
Když večer v Podjeseni kráčím skrz mrtvé, svadlé listí niv, když zrak svůj z Jara k nebi stáčím, nic nezřím, co tu bylo dřív. Vše divy mrazu, sněhů změť, oblaka letní, kde jsou teď?
