Leopold Staff
Bread

Like in the past times of  Polish ancestors
Using  previously prepared leaven for dough
And working her fingers to the bone
Woman makes bread with intense absorption

In accordance with the proper instructions
Soon the kneaded dough becomes big
Being tenderly protected by the heat
Until baking time is in action

Being formed into the shape of loaves
Put on a shovel and then in a bread over
Baking bread conjures up delicious smell

Whole meal and nutritious bread and rolls
Glorify the fertile land they come from. Then
the baker bursts with pride having done her work well.
