The subject of this article is one of the least known works by Adolf Dygasiński, entitled Dęby. The first part of the article includes description of sources as well as assumption about the fate of the manuscript and typescript of an unfinished work. The area of research included the circumstances of the work’s creation that could have influenced the choice of a specific topic and means of expression. There are many indications that the poem can be treated as a kind of poetic will and also a warning to future generations. The author, using the metaphors associated with the forest, presents the fate of The Republic of Poland. As it was possible to determine, Dygasiński was inspired by research in the field of biology and philosophy of nature. The second part of the work included an edition of a type B piece, intended for intermediate readers of literature.
