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

Ne cvitut' kvitky zymoju
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Ne cvitut' kvitky zymoju
I dereva ne šumljat'...
A, obhorneni imloju,
Jak merci, vony stojat'...

Jak že ty, mij kraju-kvite,
V čas moroziv vikovych
Mih by kvitnut' i šumity
Z-pid nametiv snihovych?

Ne kryčat' čajky zymoju,
Ne spivajut' solov'ï...
Skuti kryhoju strašnoju
Spljat' ozera i haï.

Kraju — čajko — soloviju,
Jak že mih by ty spivat' '
I vpered ity v zaviju,
I druhych v dorohu zvat'?

Čas myna... zyma mynaje...
Vse prokynet'sja vid snu
I pisnjamy pryvitaje
Krasne sonce i vesnu.

Jak že ty, mij soloviju,
Zmožeš soncja ne vitat'?!
Jak ja možu, jak ja smiju
V tebe, čuloho, pytat'?
