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

Нічка тиха і темна була
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Нічка тиха і темна була.
Я стояла, мій друже, з тобою;
Я дивилась на тебе з журбою,
Нічка тиха і темна була…

Вітер сумно зітхав у саду.
Ти співав, я мовчазна сиділа,
Пісня в серці у мене бриніла;
Вітер сумно зітхав у саду…

Спалахнула далека зірниця.
Ох, яка мене туга взяла!
Серце гострим ножем пройняла.
Спалахнула далека зірниця…
