W zeleném hágečku.
Two lovers seek the wood together,
For shelter—when a mighty bough,
Riven by the fierce and stormy weather,
Falls—and they both are corpses now.
'Tis well! their-fate is bliss—far sweeter
That both should die—than one remain
To mourn—a solitary creature—
Thro' wearying, wasting years in vain.Což se mně, má milá, hezká zdáš.
Marriage Song.
When the bride has entered the wedding-car, a small flag is waved over her, and the women sing,
Beloved! how beautiful! beautiful! she
More beautiful yet at the altar will be:
"Then take me, dear youth!
O take me, and. see
My beauty shall brighten in love and in truth.
