U t'myanomu svitli svichok,
Sered svoyeyi kimnaty,
Vona rozchesavshy volossya
Hotova bula chakluvaty.

Hotova bula vidkryvaty
U svit dyvnyi dveri skrypuchi.
Tychenko-tychenko spivaly
Shchos' huby yiyi zahuchi.

I viter zirvav dovhu tyshu,
Ale svichky zahasyty ne zmih.
Kruzlyayuchy, na pisku vyshyv
Ornamentom Sonce, ornamentom snih.

U t'myanomu svitli svichok,
Sered svoyeyi kimnaty,
Vona zrozumila, shcho hodi
Bilshe teper chakluvaty.

Rum’yancem ukrylas' vyshnevym,
Vplela u kosu dovhu strichku,
Vyishla pid nebom serpnevym
I kynulas' z bereha v richku.

I viter zirvav dovhu tyshu,
Ale svichky zahasyty ne zmih.
Kruzlyayuchy, na pisku vyshyv
Ornamentom Sonce, ornamentom snih.
