They are the finest poets of them all. The stars so blue, the flowers so lovely red/ Whole epics, Sophie, will compose for thee./ Know that what they will say, I might have said,/ For they have sown the grains of words in me./ And where the silver waves of Ikwa flow so mild,/ I used to be, just like Sophia, once, a child. Now I have left to roam in lands so far,/ A winding path is now my only bower./ Oh bring to me some brightness of that star!/ Oh bring to me some fragrance of that flower!/ I need rejuvenation, so come back to me/ From Poland as if from the skies. I wait for thee.
