Evening Songs (Op. 31)
Ten ptáček, ten se nazpívá
Ten ptáček, ten se nazpívá,
jak by byl píseň živá;
ba kdo v svém srdci lásku má,
nedivte se, že zpívá!
A ptáček ten tak od srdce
a k srdci mluvit umí,
že div by člověk neplakal,
když srdcem porozumí.
Ba často mně to připadá,
že jsem mu druhem v lkání,
neb i ty moje písně jsou
jen jemné naříkání.
