K. J. Erben

“ The ever-smiling, happy bride.
“Up and help yourselves, good people,”
Cries the bridegroom joyously.
“Open every room and cellar,
Take whate’er your fancy be.”
Music plays, they dance; then sudden
Stands a stranger by the groom. ”

“ At your wedding feast appear?”
Takto, tanče kolo třetí,
on k ní šepce potichu,
a nevěsta bez paměti
klesá v náruč ženichu.
Hluk a zmatek—smíchy mizí,
všichni spějí na pomoc.
“Kdo? kde jest muž onen cizí?” ”
