Zusammenfassung:Some properties of poetic texts are investigated in English, German, Russian, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Persian and Maori. Some well known properties of texts (e.g. h-point, repeat rate) are computed and various hypotheses are tested. The results are presented in tables and figures hence there is a good possibility to compare the results both with other languages and other text types. Both the rank-frequency relations and the spectrum of frequencies are investigated and fitted by well known functions or distribution. The translations of a Hungarian poem into six languages are investigated and compared.
