English poem
Lxiv
by Vítězslav Hálek (1835–1874)
In the sky the moon was standing; Dreams to me new songs were lending.
Birds came and told one another How much we did love each other.
That the fair fresh meadow flowers Would be wedding gowns of ours.
That green ivy with her story Would wreathe Thy head with its glory.
Adorned with thousand charms, That Thou wouldst rest in my arms.
