Misyacyu‑knyazyu!
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Misyacyu-knyazyu!
Nichkoyu temnoyu
Ty`xo ply`vesh ty`
Stezhkov tyayemnoyu…
Nizhno xlyupochet`sya
Vozdushne more,
Tak v nim i xochet`sya
Zmy`t` z sercya gore.

Misyacyu-knyazyu,
Ty`, charivny`chen`ku!
Smutok na tvojomu
Yasnomu ly`chen`ku.
Iz nebozvidnoyi
Stezhky` pogidnoyi
Vazhko glyadit` tobi
[B more gly`boke]1
V more bezdonne,
V lyuds`kosti bidnoyi
Gore bezsonne.

Misyacyu-knyazyu!
V pit`mi budushhogo,
[Znat`]2, ty` shukayesh
Zillya cilyushhogo,
Zillya, shho ly`sh czvite
Z-za rajs`ky`x mezh…
Ox, i koly` zh ty` te
Zillya [najdesh]3?..
