Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article concerns the relationship between the axiosphere of Karol Wojtyła’s early poetry and his axiological preferences in the later period of his creative activity. The subject of the research are the poetic cycle The Psalter of David (The Slavonic Book) from 1939 and The Ethical Primer from 1957–1958. Hermeneutics was used in the analysis of ideas, while the axiolinguistic method was employed in the analysis of the values. The study of these texts makes it possible to recreate the system of values preferred by Karol Wojtyła as a poet and philosopher. This system is part of the axiology of Christian humanism.
