While still in the prime of his creative powers and looking ahead to a new volume of poetry which he planned to entitle Puścian, Jerzy Ficowski died suddenly on 9 May 2006 in his summer house in Wilga. A few hours before his death, he spoke with his wife Elżbieta on the phone, and told her that he had been walking in the woods listening to the birds singing and that he was happy.
