Toman, Karel: V klobukach na dušičky
V klobukach na dušičky (Czech)
Tuřanských zvonů tuším hlas,
|
(English)I think I hear the bells of Turany,
their melancholy voices blow this way. I kneel among your tombs; I, a heretic and solitary. Pour faith into my soul, cemetery, and give my country your blessing; my country, filthy in this time of treason; and forgive me my trespasses. I shall not slaver upon the new masters; I shall hide in your heavy earth. I shall mingle with my ancestors; I shall mingle with Czech earth. |
