Wielkieś mi uczyniła pustki w domu moim,
Moja droga Orszulo, tym zniknieniem swoim!
Pełno nas, a jakoby nikogo nie było:
Jedną maluczką duszą tak wiele ubyło.
|

| |
Your flight, my dearest, caused
This vast emptiness in my house.
We are a crowd yet no one's here:
One tiny soul and so much is gone. |
- "Treny VIII"
