by Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer (1865 - 1940)

Po szerokiem, po szerokiem morzu
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Our translations:  ENG
Po szerokiem, po szerokiem morzu
Płynie okręt z kotwicą urwaną,
Wiatr go pędzi coraz dalej, dalej
W przestrzeń pustą, chmurną, ołowianą.

Po szerokiem, po szerokiem morzu
Nie do brzegu ty płyniesz okręcie,
O podwodną gdzieś uderzysz skałę
I bez śladu przepadniesz w odmęcie.
