O thou silver planet—

Thou of palest beam!

Tell him that Lelida

Weeps—and weeps for him.

But if wolves have seiz'd him,

What have I to do,

Desolate Lelida—

But to perish too!

This song is in the second number of a collection published at Prague in 1816, entitled Dwanáctero Pjsnj. Professor Zimmermann has translated it into german.

Hnew.

Gednau sme w neděli

Once seated with my love,

Upon the sod beneath

The blossom'd boughs above,

I stretch'd my hand to tear

Sweet flow'rets for a wreath,

And gave it to the fair.
