English poem
Xliii
by Vítězslav Hálek (1835–1874)
As in the sky rises the moon-- So into hearts love enters; And secret pain and silent grief Around it often centers.
And visions man had not thought of He may see, dimly lighted, And secret pain and silent grief May be in song united.
But gales and tempests violent In many hearts are waking, And ere in song they utter them-- How many hearts are breaking!
