I cannot find the rest of these lyrics, which Janbcek used as a title to
a suite.
Can anyone help, please?
Apparently, it is a Moravian wedding song.

I don't think there are lyrics. That is only a title.
oOn an Overgrown Patho is based on Moravian folk-songs and the title
comes from one song with the opening line, oThe path to my motherAs
house is grown over with weedy clover.o ItAs a brideAs song, a young
woman remembering her life before marriage."

"The first series of JanbcekAs On an Overgrown Path consists of ten
intimate, miniature piano works given programmatic titles that express
a striking range of emotion. The title is a reference from Moravian
folk poetry, suggesting a time gone by, which is reflected in the
nostalgic quality of each piece."
