The World Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj wikisource
How nice is
this world around, -
here's a meadow,[1][2]
flowers abound;[2]
there's a field,[2]
and there a glade;[2]
there is sun,
and here a shade;
There is Danube
with gold laden,
there is grass,
and here a garden.[3]
A nightingale[4]
sings its tune.[5]
Here's my heart,
and here are you.
