Wieczór

Kolejny niepotrzebny dzień,
Wspaniały, jednak nadmiarowy!
Przychodźże, pieszczotliwy cień
I duszy niewyraźnej zmień
Ubiór, na ornat swój perłowy.

I ty przyszedłeś... Gonisz stąd
Złowieszcze ptaki - smutki moje.
O, nocy, twardo trzymasz rząd,
Wbrew tobie trudno iść pod prąd,
Bo władczo brzmią sandały twoje!

Na ziemię cisza spada z gwiazd,
Lśni księżyc - jak klejnoty twoje,
Znów widzę we śnie inny świat,
To Ziemi Obiecanej szmat —
Łzami zroszone szczęście moje.

Love

Arrogant as a boy, the lyric / poet came in, did not knock, / said only that I was now / to love only him. Only him. / / With a scowl he slammed / my book shut, stamped / his patent leather shoe and / murmured, "How dull." / / The nerve, to be perfumed like that! / ...

To a Girl

I don't care for the indolence / in your crossed arms, / their calm modesty, / their shy fright. / / You could have been written by Turgenev: / haughty, delicate, pure, / reeking of autumn that never / roars down the lane, where leaves whirl. / / Everything you believe / is m...

Fragment

Christ said, "Blessed are the poor; / the blind, the lame, the beggars are fortunate; / for I will take them to my home above the stars, / I will make them Knights of Heaven, / they will be the most glorified of the glorified..." / All right, suppose it's true: all right! But / ...

The Eternal

In a tunnel of locked days / where even the sky presses painfully / I can see centuries, I live in minutes, / but I wait for the Sabbath of Sabbaths: / / The end of anxiety, the end of success, the end / to my soul's blind wandering... / Oh time when I too will open my eyes / and kn...

Prelude to Tent

Of you, Africa, deafened by howling / and the clatter of hooves, surrounded by fire and smoke, / it is of you they speak in Heaven, / seraphim whispering your name. / / And opening your Gospel, / the story of your terrible, your wonderful life, / they think of the fumbling new angel /...
