Translations..

I cannot understand
a word of Polish, though
all that I have to know
relating to the land
is that what I can hear
was written by a man
in languages he can
relate to his career.
If he can write them well
in stanzas, words, and lines
of mortals and divines,
it rings a sylla-bell...
this is the poet's role.
Thus, anyone's a Pole.
