by Larisa Petrivna Kosach-Kvitka (1871 - 1913), as Lesja Ukrajinka

Chotila b ja pisneju staty
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Chotila b ja pisneju staty
U sjuju chvylynu jasnu,
Ščob vil'no po svitu litaty,
Ščob viter roznosyv lunu.

Ščob het' až pid jasniï zori
Polynuty spivom dzvinkym,
Upasty na chvyli prozori,
Bujaty nad morem chybkym.

Lunaly b todi moï mriï
I ščastja moje tajemne,
Jasniši, niž zori jasniï
Hučniši, niž more hučne.
