		-------------------------------------------------------

		I exist to swell up with the pulsating miracle of my
		blood and later to regard it with open eyes.  I shield
		it from the wind bending over it I touch my hands feet.
		I do not think I never think -- I just know.  When it
		starts crying plaintively within me I will rise and
		with my warm hand I will guide it through the night.

		od wiatru pochylona nad nim dotykam ra/k no/g.  Nie
		mys/le/ nigdy nie mys/le/ -- wiem.  Kiedy zakwili we
		mnie wstane/ i ciepla/ re/ka/ przeprowadze/ go przez
		noc.
