To thee, sweet happy Verba, all my praise!
Dear corner of my father's home and land,
Why did the thirst for knowledge e'er demand
My going hence into life's tortuous ways!

I should not, then, have found how joy that sways
The mind becomes but poison in man's hand;
Faith in myself all gone, I would not stand
Here tossed by inner storms through nights and days.

A helpmate and a love for me alone -
A dowry, priceless far above all mark -
I should have won with her my heart had known.

Then might have floated smoothly my life's bark,
My house, my fertile fields, and all my own
Protected by our patron, good St. Mark.

(F. Prešeren, translated by Lenarčič and Matthews)
