Nich yaka misyachna, yasnaya, zoryana,
Vydno, choch holky zbyray,
Vyidy, kochanaya, praceyu zmorena,
Choch na chvylynochku v hay!

Syadem ukupochci tut pid kalynoyu,
I nad panamy ya pan!
Hlyan, moya rybonko, – sribnoyu chvyleyu
Stelyt'sya v poli tuman.

Stav niby charivnyi, prominnyam vsypanyi,
Chy zahadavsya, chy spyt'?
Hen na strunkiy ta vysokiy osychyni
Lystya pestlyvo tremtyt'.

Nebo hlyboke, zasiyane zoryamy, –
Shcho to za boza krasa!
Zirky myhotyat' on popid topolyamy,
Tak odbyvaye rosa.

Ty ne lyakaysya, shcho svoyi nizenky
Vmochysh v cholodnu rosu.
Ya z tebe, virnaya, az do chatynonky
Sam na rukach vidnesu.

Ty ne lyakaysya, shcho zmerznesh, lebedonko,
Teplo – ni vitru, ni chmar,
Ya pryhornu tebe do svoho serdenka,
A vono palke yak zar.
