Abstract

The article refers to the works by Tomasz Stępień, Adam Kulawik and some other scholars who described the genesis of Gałczyński’s poem Serwus madonna. This lyric was written for Natalia Gałczyńska but after the adjustments made by Stanisław Piasecki it became a religious poem. The author explains the reason of misunderstandings and the meaning of the word ‘madonna’ which was incorporated into Polish from Italian in 19th century and had two meanings: secular and religious. The poet followed the advice of the editor of “Prosto z mostu” and accepted his adjustments in the meaning of the poem.
