I'm baffled by Bursa's use of "flechtach" and "flechtów" in the first and
last stanzas of this poem. Apparently he's using the German word "flecht"
"geflecht" -- braid, plait, interlacing -- but my Polish colleague and I
both are stumped.  We're also stymied by his use of "k¹cik" in the first
line of the last stanza.  "W kącikach flechtów wieczór już."  Help!  Kevin

There is an interesting discussion on this rare word here, about it's use by
Bursa and by a young poet Antoni Leszczyc:

Hope that helps,
