At bottom, Pushkin's poem translated by Tuwim: You and Mr. / Instead of the empty Mr. in conversation / The tender You sprang to her mind / And all the happiest dreams / Woke up in the soul at this word / Gazing, love with my eyes, / Longing filled the heart, And I say: what a kind lady! / And I think: how I love you!"
