Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the poems composed classical and sentimental poetics in the late Enlightenment, in which we find reflections resulting from the poet’s real or fictional return to a dear homeland river. A thematic-existential classification is referred to, “I” her – now, “I” here – now and later, and “I” here – now and earlier. Within such classification the author analyses the poems by Józef Morelowski, Adam Mickiewicz, and Franciszek Karpiński, and daws attention to the blurred borderlines between the classical and the sentimental seen both in the collections of poems and in the poems.
