by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (1814 - 1861)

Чого мені тяжко, чого мені нудно
Language: Ukrainian (Українська) 
Чого мені тяжко, чого мені нудно,
Чого серце плаче, ридає, кричить,
Мов дитя голодне? Серце моє трудне,
Чого ти бажаєш, що в тебе болить?
Чи пити, чи їсти, чи спатоньки хочеш?
Засни, моє серце, навіки засни,
Невкрите, розбите — а люд навісний
Нехай скаженіє... [Закрий, серце, очі.]1
