Obitelji Nikolić!
Occasional verse and dedications
To the Nikolić Family!
Ovu knjigu dajemNikolić Antunu,da sa njome sredimomi suradnju punu.Kako gospon' Antununučadi ima,ova će mu knjigabiti kao prima.Neka čita djeci,bajke prije snovai to će mu bitijedna igra nova.I baka će malovremena da nađeda uspava onounuče najmlađe.Čitat će mu pjesmaiz ZEKINE SREĆE.Bakino sunašcekad se probudi:pa zar ima neštoljepše, dragi ljudi.I kada se igrai po sobi skače,baki srce udaraod veselja jače.Tu ljepotu snova,njima autor želi,njihovoj idilii on se veseli.
To Nikolić AntunI give this book today,so that our shared workis fully under way.As Mister Antunhas grandchildren too,this book will be for himfirst-rate, through and through.Let him read the childrenfairy tales at night,and that will be for hima new game, a delight.And Grandma will finda little time, to keepon rocking the youngestgrandchild off to sleep.He'll be read a poemout of BUNNY'S LUCK.Grandma's little sunshinewhen he wakes, refreshed:tell me, dear people,what could be more blessed?And when he playsand hops about the floor,Grandma's heart is poundingwith joy all the more.Such lovely dreamsthe author wishes true,and in their idyllhe is joyful too.
