Single-sided printing on ark. 47.7x18.7 cm. Song to the melody of the hymn "God, something Poland": "What has gathered us so numerous today, / Old and young here to this circle? / Where it is pleasant for us all to play together, / Where love nourishes one to another? / Here is the anniversary of the Circle's founding, / Our fun is the main reason [...]". The song was written on the anniversary of Karol Miarka's founding of the Chorzow Social Circle, also known as the Polish Circle.
