Wśród nocnej ciszy

"Wsród nocnej ciszy" (Polish for "In the midst of night's quiet") is a popular Polish Christmas carol from the turn of 18th and 19th centuries.

The Australian poet, Peter Skrzynecki, has a poem titled "Wśród nocnej ciszy" (p. 102 of his Old World/New World anthology), which puts forward the idea that sometimes the real meaning of Christmas is lost, amongst our many Christmas cultural traditions.
