Summary/Abstract: Polish education requires the fulfillment of many aims, among others teaching the ability of a comparative interpretation, recognition of the means of artistic expression, perception of features typical a given epoch in works, perception of linguistic differences in old texts, and comparison of the functioning of the same motives in different literary works. Introducing a regional content into Polish lessons gives a possibility of realizing the afore‑mentioned curriculum assumptions, and broadening students’ knowledge about the culture of the region as well as motivating them more efficiently. On the basis of a comparative analysis and interpretation of Hymn by Juliusz Słowacki and Hymn pisany w lasach macedońskich o wschodzie słońca by Augustyn Świder, a S ilesian poet, a relationship between great Polish literature and regional literature can be shown. The very texts have a lot of features in common. Similarities are seen in the way of presentation and creation of a lyrical subject, a lyrical situation, as well as biographic factors being a genesis of both works. Differences concern especially a stylistic shape and realization of a genre convention, thanks to which the analysis based on the very texts is not only cognitive, abut also educational in character. Regional poetry is a good material for practicing various Polish language abilities mainly because it is subject to the same rules and tendencies as great Polish poetry.
