Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to analyse and interpret a poem by Jerzy Liebert Przed domem jarzębina [A Rowan Tree in Front of the House], written in the late period of Liebert’s life. The author discusses artistic modes of the poem (musicality, visuality and autothematism) and emphasizes a change in the poet’s attitude towards nature while preserving self-discipline. The core of this change seems to be his awareness of the impending death and a sense of impermanence of individual human beings. The cultural and natural phenomenon of Hucul country also becomes the background in this line of thought.
