A czy wiesz, dziecino miła... Wybór poezji patriotycznej dla dzieci
Maria Konopnicka
...Kochasz ty dom, rodzinny dom, Co wpośród burz, w zwątpienia dnie, Gdy w duszę ci uderzy grom, Wspomnieniem swym ocala cię? O, jeśli kochasz, jeśli chcesz Żyć pod tym dachem, chleb jeść zbóż, Sercem ojczystych progów strzeż, Serce w ojczystych ścianach złóż!... Piękne patriotyczne wiersze Marii Konopnickiej rozbudzały wrażliwość, krzewiły moralne wartości, takie jak męstwo, honor i odwaga. Poetka, tworzyła w czasie zaborów, napisała m.in. Rotę , która motywowała do walki o ojczyznę. W swym bogatym dorobku Konopnicka nie zapomniała jednak o najmłodszych czytelnikach. A czy wiesz, dziecino miła... jest dla nich drogowskazem wzrastania w postawie umiłowania ojczyzny.

BEHOLD! cried Sabul Ahmid, with an upward sweep of his bare, brown arm, behold the Sacred Temple of the people of Astrea! I stood up in the boat, my portfolio under my arm. High on the mountains side, crowning a thick mass of laurel undergrowth, and flanked by a grove of deep, cool, byana trees, was the building to which my servant was pointing. The material whereof it was fashioned I could not at that distance determine. Only in the broad, tropical sunlight it flashed forth, a glorious and spotless white, as flawless and perfect as the purest marble or alabaster. Little minarets rose from the flat roof; and flowering shrubs, planted along the mountain terrace above, drooped about it, a brilliant scintilla of purple coloring. My fingers began to crave for my pencil. I turned to my guide with beaming face.
