Iduchy vnochi, natrapyv ya na svitlo,
Pomiz derev vohon horiv,
U pevnyi chas syudy zlitalys' tini
Na temnyi shabash miz lisiv.

Vony bezdumno tancyuvaly
U svitli teploho vohnyu,
Pisni pro nich sobi spivaly
I dushu klykaly moyu.

I ya pishov na yichniy zaklyk,
Na myt' ya stav odnym iz nych,
My pyly krov, molylys' nochi,
Pid kronamy derev starych.

Meni vidkryly tayemnycyu,
Shcho yichnya syla-samota,
A smert' lyshe doroha v vichnist',
Tomu dlya nych vona svyata.

A z pershym promenem vsi znykly,
Yak tilky kryknuly sychi,
Lyshyvshy v serci tilky spohad,
Pro dyvnyi tanec' unochi.

I raz na vichnist' pid zirkamy
Mene ty znaydesh sered nych,
My budemo spivaty y tancyuvaty
Prekrasnyi tanec' duchiv lisovych.
