by Oleksandr Ivanovych Kandyba (1878 - 1944), as Oleksandr Ivanovych Oles

Ajstry`
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Opivnochi ajstry` v sadu rozczvily`…
Umy`ly`s` rosoyu, vinky` odyagly`,
I staly` rozhevogo ranku chekat`,
I v rajdugu barviv zhy`ttya uby`rat`…

I mary`ly` ajstry` v rozkishnim pivsni
Pro travy` shovkovi, pro sonyachni dni, —
I v mriyax vvy`zhalas` yim kazka yasna,
De kvity` ne v'yanut`, de vichna vesna…

Tak mary`ly` ajstry` v sadu voseny`,
Tak mary`ly` ajstry` i zhdaly` vesny`…
A ranok strivav yix xolodny`m doshhem,
I plakav des` viter v sadu za kushhem…

I vgledily` ajstry`, shho vkolo — tyurma…
I vgledily` ajstry`, shho zhy`ty` darma, —
Sxy`ly`ly`s` i vmerly`… I tut, [yak]1 na smix,
Zasyayalo sonce nad trupamy` yix!..
