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

Sim strun ya torkayu, struna po struni
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Sim strun ya torkayu, struna po struni,
  Nexaj moyi struny` lunayut`,
  Nexaj moyi spivy` litayut`
Po ridnij koxanij moyij storoni.
  I, mozhe, de kobza najdet`sya,
  Shho guchno na struny` ozvet`sya,
Na struny`, na spivy` moyi neguchni.

I, mozhe, zagraye ta kobza vil`nishe,
  Nizh ty`xiyi struny` moyi.
  I vil`niyi guky` yiyi
Znajdut` posluxannya u sviti py`l`nishe;
  I bude ta kobza – guchna,
  Ta til`ky` ne mozhe vona
Lunaty` vid strun moyix ty`xy`x shhy`rishe.
