XLV

Josef Štýbr translation

The day and night went each their way— The day, as Judas, traitor, The night, so fair, so beautiful, That none can ever hate her. The little stars shine in the sky, The moon comes with her pallor, And in the forest chats the dove, The fair and tender caller. The heart confesses to the heart With thoughts in distance sailing, And longing lips thirst for a kiss, From burning passion thrilling.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
