Kołysanka lalek

U naszego synka
nieba okruszynka,
u naszej córeczki
z gwiazdek pacioreczki:
turkusowe krążki,
nizane na wstążki,
serce rubinowe
obojgu pod głowę.

by Kazimiera Iłłakowicza (1892-1983)

Duckling's lullaby

 For our son 
 a tiny bit of Heaven,
 for our daughter 
 starlets as prayer-beads:
 turquoise rings 
 threaded on ribbons, 
 hearts of rubies 
 for their pillows.
