by Larisa Petrivna Kosach-Kvitka (1871 - 1913), as Lesya Ukrainka

Горить моє серце, його запалила
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Горить моє серце, його запалила
Гарячая іскра палкого жалю.
Чому ж я не плачу? Рясними сльозами
Чому я страшного вогню не заллю?

Душа моя плаче, душа моя рветься,
Та сльози не ринуть потоком буйним,
Мені до очей не доходять ті сльози,
Бо сушить їх туга вогнем запальним.

Хотіла б я вийти у чистеє поле,
Припасти лицем до сирої землі
І так заридати, щоб зорі почули,
Щоб люди вжахнулись на сльози мої.
