- stubble, what is left on the field after its being mowed down
- 1805, Cyprian Godebski, Wiersz do Legiów Polskich[1], Warszawa, archived from the original on 2022-11-28, pages 7–8:
- Jeszcze złoty wóz Feba, w kół ognistych toku,
Nie dostarczył szat nowych czterém coróm[sic] roku,
Jeszcze w pierwotne brózdy pokraiana niwa
Nie dała dwukrotnego swemu panu żniwa,
I ptak, co był w iesieni ścierń smutną porzucił,
Jeszcze z wiosną na gniazdo oyczyste nie wrócił...- The golden carriage of Phoebus, in its fiery wheels' course,
Hadn't yet given new robes to the four daughters of the year;
The field, being cut up into initial furrows,
Hadn't yet given a double harvest to its master;
And the bird that had abandoned the sad stubble in the fall
Hadn't yet returned to its native nest with the spring...
- The golden carriage of Phoebus, in its fiery wheels' course,
- 2000 (first published 1950), Antoni Gołubiew, Bolesław Chrobry, tom 2: Złe dni[2], Bertelsmann, page 80:
- Stok się tu wyrównywał w rozległą płaszczyznę, w zachodzącym słońcu rudniała ścierń; tu i tam rosły kępy drzew — modrzewi i brzóz.
- The slope here flattened out into a wide plain; the stubble was turning red in the setting sun; here and there grew clumps of trees — larches and birches.
