by Adam Mickiewicz (1798 - 1855)

Cisza morska
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Już wstążkę pawilonu wiatr zaledwie muśnie,
Cichymi gra piersiami rozjaśniona woda;
Jak marząca o szczęściu narzeczona młoda
Zbudzi się, aby westchnąć, i wnet znowu uśnie.

Żagle, na kształt chorągwi gdy wojnę skończono,
Drzemią na masztach nagich; okręt lekkim ruchem
Kołysa się, jak gdyby przykuty łańcuchem;
Majtek wytchnął, podróżne rozśmiało się grono.

O morze! pośród twoich wesołych żyjątek
Jest polip, co śpi na dnie, gdy się niebo chmurzy,
A na ciszę długimi wywija ramiony.
 
O myśli! w twojej głębi jest hydra pamiątek,
Co śpi wpośród złych losów i namiętnej burzy;
A gdy serce spokojne, zatapia w nim szpony.
