by Markian Semyonovych Shashkevych (1811 - 1843)

Розпука
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Поза тихими водами
Сумно та й смерклося;
[О]1, як голос меж горами,
Щастя розбилося!

Летить ворон [чорнокрилий,
За ним]2 загуділо,
Щастя [моє, гаразд милий]3
Навіки зниділо.

Тяжко голубу малому
Гори перебити,
Ой, ще тяжче безрідному
На сім світі жити.

[Ти,]4 зозуле сивенькая,
Закуй ми сумненько:
Най розпука [та й лютая]5
Вирве ми серденько.
