AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The poem describes the home made by the speaker in a 'Dolina Szczęścia' (Valley of Happiness), with her son's cot placed among the sun's rays slanting 'Między konarami eukaliptusów' ('between eucalyptus branches'). The poem ends with the image of a friendly Gallah which 'uparcia powtarza/imiona mieszkańców okolicznych wzgórz' ('stubbornly repeats/ the names of those who live in the surrounding mountains').
