I cannot find the rest of these lyrics, which Janácek used as a title to
a suite.

Can anyone help, please?

TIA,
Bill

Apparently, it is a Moravian wedding song.

I don't think there are lyrics. That is only a title.

On an Overgrown Path is based on Moravian folk-songs and the title
comes from one song with the opening line, The path to my mothers
house is grown over with weedy clover. Its a brides song, a young
woman remembering her life before marriage."

"The first series of Janáceks 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."
