Summary/Abstract: In 1827, Franz Schubert published a song cycle called Winterreise. 167 years later Stanisław Barańczak published the volume of poetry Winter Journey. The Romantic tale started by the Austrian composer has opened a brand new opportunity for expression in lyrics and music. The article based on the fifth song, called Der Lindenbaum (The Lime tree), presents correlations occurring in the plane between Schubert, Wilhelm Müller and Barańczak. It is the only poem translated from German by Barańczak in the whole series. The author of the article attributes the new senses arising in the music-literature intersection to different semantic systems: literary text, possible intertextual situations, and the existence of a literary work in terms of music. She also answers the question of the topic of the tree in Barańczak’s poem combined with the music of Schubert.
