Dark Night, Bright Night

Horizon in mourning black – !... the Angel of darkness flies in silence over surface of calm waters and drowsing forests – !... Oh black night! oh terrible night, my spirit loves you – !.... Nor ornamented by star!.. Nor one ray!.. some restless lightning, running from distant storm – lightning sways and disappears in dead abyss But sky lightens!. . already swallow twitter touched voice of beak – – and lark wonders in his prophetic psalm. . . . Dawn with silvery wings comes and throws garland of diamonds from his burning forehead on the earth, which being chatting. . . Night strokes his hair and covered in her fogs avoids Morning’s passionate chase – – Far from here chime bell sounds hardly and gets lost in wave movements of cereals. . . . . Black shadow disappears – oh my soul when I so brighten by your darknesses, then your morning is good luck far in the bosom of centuries („Poezye Studenta” , Vol. II.)

Oh soul, abandon your body! Fly and dream boldly. . . . Your shoulders crossed on your bosom, your forehead among the stars – – ! . . Bright night ringing nightingales – by the prayer of flowers in tears will inspire beaming air. . . . . This is for you! . . . mysterious and dream. . . . moon rises over mountain through black creaking pines. . . Oh fly in infinity – look for your ideal and marking your way before we will mark it for you! . . . .     Oh soul abandon your body! Fly and dream boldly! . –                 („Poezye Studenta” , Vol. II.)
