Kornel Ujejski ( September 12 1823 - September 19 1897 ), Polish poet, patriot and political writer. He was named "last of the greatest Polish poets of Romanticism ". Ujejski was involved in Poland's struggle for independence after it had been partitioned and erased from the map of Europe by neighbouring countries ( Russia , Prussia and Austria ). In 1846 , at the instigation of the Austrian Government, the Galician peasants massacred several thousand of the nobility. Ujejski then gave utterance to the universal feeling of indignation in his powerful poem ''Choral'', which has become the national hymn of Poland. The political situation in occupied Poland was reflected in his poems and political writing. His writing conveyed patriotic and historic message and was meant to support the Polish people in their fight for independence. HIS WORKS
