by Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer (1865 - 1940)

W wieczorną ciszę
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Our translations:  ENG
W wieczorną ciszę z daleka słyszę
szumiące cicho rzeki;
myśli me z wolna sennie kołysze
szum cichy i daleki.
 
Wolno i sennie w wielki bezdennie
świat myśli moje płyną,
płyną na gwiazdy lśniące promiennie
i w ciemnej pustce giną.
