		untitled (***the night whispered:  good night)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		the night whispered: good night
		rustled
		and in the branches of wild lilac
		the buds slept all silently curled up
		let's not wake them -- you said softer
		than the purring of the wind
		dreaming at a meadow
		let's not wake them -- I whispered
		and let on with my eyelids
		that the kisses have just ascended
		in the freshly blizzarded sky

		zaszeptal/a noc: dobranoc
		zaszeles/cil/a
		a w gal/e/ziach dzikiego bzu
		spal/y cicho zwinie/te pa/ki
		nie budz/my ich -- powiedzial/es/ ciszej
		od pomruko/w wiatru
		drzemia/cego nad l/a/ka/
		nie budz/my ich -- szene/l/am
		i dal/am ci znak powiekami
		z/e pocal/unki wl/as/nie wzeszl/y
		na s/wiez/o zamiecionym niebie
