Written in 1774 by Prince-Bishop Ignacy Krasicki for King Stanisław August Poniatowski's Corps of Cadets, it became in the latter's reign an unofficial national anthem of Poland. The lyrics convey the idea that love of Country gives meaning to poverty, wounds and death.
Popular during the Polish Enlightenment, Krasicki's patriotic poem also became the anthem of the Warsaw Corps of Cadets.
