Language: Ukrainian (Українська)

Jakby moï dumy nimiï na struny prorečysti vpaly, zajšlys' by plačem moï struny i smichom dytjačym zahraly. Mov chvylja mors'ka v jasnu burju i temna, j blyskuča, j raptova, i soncevi ridna, j bezodni bula b moja pisnja bez slova. Važki poberežniï skeli zryva peremožneje more; nevže peremožnaja pisnja važkoho žalju ne pobore? Nevže moja pisnja ne chvylja? Oj lele! Daremni pytannja… Nimi moï dumy, a ruky dajut' lyš nimiï styskannja…
