Translated by
Albert Henry Wratislaw.
1852

Strana 91:


           The Forsaken.
            (Opustena)

ALAS! ye woods, ye gloomy woods!
   Ye woods of Miletine!
In summer and in winter too
   Why are ye ever green?

Right glad were I did I not weep,
   And my poor heart torment;
But, O good people, tell to me,
   Who would not thus lament?

Where, where's my father, father dear?
   He in the grave is low;
Where, where's my mother, mother good?
   O'er her the grass doth grow:
Brothers and sisters none remain,
My lover they away have ta'en.
