Water poetry and water Water poetry and water music music are only for ambitious are only for ambitious studentsstudents Huczy woda po kamieniach,

A na głębi cicho płynie - Nie sądź ludzi po zachceniach, Ale prawdy szukaj w czynie.

Kto prawdziwe czuć niezdolny, Ten się szumem słowa pieści - Potok głośny a swawolny Mało wody w sobie mieści.

Lecz spokojnej cisza toni Zwykle wielką głąb zwiastuje - Na wiatr uczuć swych nie trwoni, Kto głęboko w duszy czuje!
