by Stanisław Mateusz Ignacy Wyspiański (1869 - 1907)

Poezjo! ‑ tyś to jest spokojną sjestą;
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Poezjo! - tyś to jest spokojną sjestą;
chcesz mnie uśpić, znieczulić, zniewolić,
byle słówka nie wyrzec goręcej.
Ach, nie ukrywaj - nie udawaj,
ty sameś w ogniu - to maska
ten pozorny spokój - to kłam.
A! ta muzyka tak brzęczy,
jak z ula dzwonienie pszczół -
a my jak szerszenie:
to mi się rzuca do garła
ta duża wesołość narodowa,
to mi się rozszerza głowa
szumem, gwarnością, zawrotem
i nawet mi jest wstrętny ból.
