Seele

 Dämmerung löscht die letzten Lichter,
 noch ein irrer Schall und Schein,
 und die Nacht hüllt dicht und dichter
 alles Leben ein:

 Und die Erde will nun schlafen;
 aber ruhelos bist du,
 steuerst aus dem stillen Hafen
 deinen Sternen zu.

by Gustav Falke (1853-1916)

Dusza

  Pogasił zmrok juź dnia promicnie,
  pełznie nikły swiatła ślad,
  W coraz gęstsze gęstsze cienie
  noc utula swiat:
 
  Ziemia w mroku śpi otchłani;
  tylko w tobie zamęt burz,
  Duch twój z cichej tej przystani
  do gwiazd rwie się zórz.

by Stanisław Barącz (1864-1936)
