Kytice by Karel Jaromír Erben

The second in our new Amber poets series.
 
Erben's 'Kytice', together with 'May' and 'The Grandmother', is regarded as one of the three foundation texts of the modern Czech literary cannon. The collection inspired Dvořák to write four of his most famous works, the symphonic tone peoms 'The Water-globlin', 'The Noonday Witch', 'The Golden Spinning-wheel' and 'The Wild Dove'.
