Koly nichne nebo osyayane
Spalachamy blyskavyc';
Abo bezchmarne vono
Ta llyut' svitlo zori ta misyac' –
Ty na Peruniv shlyach podyvys' – prydyvys',
Ale ne na nebo, a u chornyi kolodyaz'...

Tam v’yut'sya dorohy az do nebokrayu –
V koznoho svoya;
Nam vid narodzennya dolya plete yich –
Y odna z nych – tvoya.

...Kriz' polya ydut' stezky
Ta hirs'kymy chrebtamy;
Pryamuyut' kriz' hroty
Ta povzut' berehamy
Mostamy chy brodamy peretynayut'
Richky ta drahvy;
U bureviyach znykayut'...
V lisach hublyat'sya – shchezayut'...

A ni zupynytys', a ni zvernuty
Zi shlyachu, shcho doleyu dano:
Zavadu ne obiyty;
Zlyakavshys', chovatysya marno!

Ty stav na toy shlyach, shchob yoho proyty, –
Chay by yak bulo vazko! – Ydy!
Kriz' bud'-shcho – ne ozyraysya!
Ne zupynyay chody!

Shovkamy stelytymet'sya zemleyu
Ziv’yala ta zim’yata trava...
Itymesh dovho – do smerti ytymesh
Stezkamy doli kriz' lis zyttya.

V’yut'sya dorohy, splitayut'sya –
Dolya plete navmannya.
Kozen maye proyty sviy shlyach
Do nebokrayu zyttya...
