by Borys Dmytrovych Hrinchenko (1863 - 1910), as Vasyl' Chaychenko

І молилася я, й сподївалася я
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
І молилася я, й сподївалася я,
Чи не гляне хоч раз любо доля моя.
І минали лїта, дожидала її,
Та даремні були сподївання мої:
Не діждалася я… І минули лїта —
В серцї пустка нїма, я тепер вже не та!
На роботї тяжкій звікувала життя —
Воно марно пішло, все пішло без пуття.
І недоля моя й досї давить мене,
І та праця тяжка стан недужий мій гне,
І вже слїпнуть од слїз очі карі мої,
А все долї нема — не діждалась її!…
Нї родини нема, нї дружини нема,
Сьвіт широкий усїм, а мінї він — тюрма!
