Summary/Abstract: The article consists of three sketches: I. About the vocalic structure of two of Rilke's poems; II. About the structure of a poem by Verlaine ("Sagesse" II, 1); III. About an example of sound symbolism ("Rigveda" X, 125). These sketches contain some observations concerning the structure of some levels (mainly of lower ones) characteristic of these poetical texts. A great number of poetical texts have been analysed from this viewpoint, and the article represents only a part of the results of this investigation.
