by Wilhelm Albert Włodzimierz Apolinary Kostrowicki (1880 - 1918)

Ville et cœur
Language: French (Français) 
La ville sérieuse avec ses girouettes
Sur le chaos figé du toit de ses maisons
Ressemble au cœur figé, mais divers, du poète
Avec les tournoiements stridents des déraisons.

Ô ville comme un cœur tu es déraisonnable.
Contre ma paume j'ai senti les battements
De la ville et du cœur : de la ville imprenable
Et de mon cœur surpris de vie, énormément.
