Can Anyone Help with a Polish Poem about a Brother and a Sister Riding Through a Village?

My father passed away and I miss him. He always sang many songs in Polish and Russian, but one poem in particular that I called my own he always told me before I went to bed was… Jadom jadom dzecie drogu szochika I brat… Do you have the entire verse?

It’s about a brother and a sister riding through a village and they are talking about their travels and what a wonderful sight it is. The poem talks about how they pass a white hut with a roof made out of straw. They see a crane in the sky, a peasant boy playing a flute, bailing hay and so on… Please help me.

Thank you Diana Meynart Hanzel

    Jadą, jadą dzieci drogą

    Jadą, jadą dzieci drogą,
    siostrzyczka i brat,
    i nadziwić się nie mogą,
    jaki piękny świat.

    Tu się kryje biała chata,
    tu słomiany dach,
    przy niej wierzba rosochata,
    a w konopiach strach.

    Od łąk mokrych bocian leci,
    żabkę w dziobie ma.
    Bociuś, bociuś! krzyczą dzieci,
    a on Kla, kla, kla.

    Tam zagania owce siwe
    Brysio – kundel zły.
    Konik wstrząsa bujną grzywę
    i do stajni rży.

    Idą żeńcy, niosą kosy,
    fujareczka gra,
    a pastuszek mały, bosy
    chudą krówkę gna.

    Młyn na rzece huczy z dala
    białe ciągną mgły,
    a tam z kuˇni od kowala
    lecą złote skry.

    W polu, w sadzie brzmi piosenka
    śród porannych ros,
    siwy dziad pod krzyżem klęka
    pacierz mówi w głos.

    Jadą wioską, jadą drogą
    siostrzyczka i brat
    i nadziwić się nie mogą,
    jaki piękny świat.
