Zurba

Koly chasom v vazkii zadumi
Moya ponykne holova,
Lehenkyi stuk v vikno chy v dveri
Potoky mrii pereryva.
Lehenkyi stuk v vikno chy v dveri
Potoky mrii pereryva...

Ozvusya, vyhlyanu – daremno,
Ne chut nikoho, ne vydat.
Lysh shchos u serci strepenetsya,
Kohos-to hochetsya zhadat.

Chy shchyryi druh v dalekim krayi
Teper u ljutim boyi zhyb?
Chy plache starshyi brat, prypavshy
Lycem do pradidivskyh skyb?

Chy, moze, ty, moya holubko,
Moye kohannya charivne,
Daleko des z nimym dokorom
V tii hvyli zhaduyesh mene?..

Chy, moze, hnuchy v sobi hore,
Ty tyho plachesh u tyshi,
A ce tvoyi pekuchi slozy
Meni stukochut do dushi?..
