by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)

Минають дні
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Минають дні, минає літо, 
А Україна, знай, горить; 
По селах плачуть [голі]1 діти: 
Батьків немає. Шелестить 
Пожовкле листя по діброві, 
Гуляють хмари, сонце спить;
Ніде не чуть людської мови;
Звір тільки [виє по селу, 
Гризучи трупи. Не ховали, --
Вовків ляхами годували, 
Аж поки снігом занесло 
Огризки вовчі.]2
