The work is structured as a series of five songs and reflects on themes of love, familial bonds, and rural life, specifically within the context of Kraków. The narrative captures the essence of Polish traditions and the emotional struggles of its characters amidst the backdrop of socio-political turmoil of the time. The story follows Wiesław, a young man who, motivated by love and family duty, embarks on a journey to buy horses in Kraków and becomes enchanted by Halina, a beautiful girl at a local wedding. As they dance and sing together, Wiesław's affection for Halina grows, and he confesses his love and desire to marry her. However, the journey is intertwined with sorrow, as Wiesław also grapples with the loss of his own family and a deep-seated longing for connection. The poem culminates in a reunion, illustrating how love bridges gaps in familial relationships while simultaneously reflecting on the resilience of the human spirit amidst trials and tribulations. Throughout, Brodziński's eloquent verses and vivid imagery bring to life the rustic charm of 19th-century Poland and the heartfelt emotions of its characters.
