The Maiden by the Stream.
Pere děwa u poloka.
The maiden in the flowing stream
Dry hemp doth lay;
Her tears are falling in the stream
From those blue eyes so bright, that beam
The live-long day.
"Say maiden! what disturbs thy peace
The livelong day?"
"Deep wounds have stabb'd my spirit's peace,
And nought shall bid its misery cease
But life's decay."
