V širém poli dúbec stojí

Language: Czech

V širém poli dúbec stojí,
na dúbci žezhulice
zakukáše, zaplakáše,
že nenie vezdy jaro.
Kak by zrálo žitko v poli,
by vesdy jaro bylo?
Kak by zrálo jablko v sadě,
by vezdy léto bylo?
Kak by mrzly klasi v stoze,
by vezdy jeseň byla?
Kak by děvě tĕško bylo
by vezdy sama byla?
