A Ty zyvyi! – shcho b tam ne hovoryly,
Shcho b ne plely pro Tebe i pro nas, –
Zyvyi v svitach, v yakych ne mayut' syly
Ni ryms'kyi cezar, ni vselens'kyi chas.
Chocha i tut vony ne ye vsesylni:
Chas vb’ye carya, cari vbyvayut' dni –
A Ty meni cvitesh u koznim zilli,
Smiyeshsya v koznim shchebeti – meni.
Yak ya v tu nich za tym kushchem rydala!.. –
Takyi buv strach, i bil, choch vovkom vyi...
A nyni ydu – svystyt' uslid Mahdala,
A ya smiyus' vid shchastya: Ty – zyvyi!..
Zyvyi, zyvyi! – lysh na horbi rozlohim
Speklysya krov Tvoya i pyl epoch...
Boh ye Lyubov – ce strashno, buty Bohom! –
Ale bez c'oho i Lyubov – ne Boh.
Lyubov sylnisha kanchukiv i palyc',
Shcho yiy mechi – vona dlya nych, yak dym,
I ti slova, shcho Tviy zalyshyv palec',
Perezyvut' i cezarya, i Rym.
