Davnya pisnya

Pohasly kostryshcha stoyanok,
U zemlju pishly plemena.
Zabraly v holodni kurhany
Sokyry, mechi i pysmena.
Stmyanily braslety i hrebni,
Rozpalys namysta razky,
Shcho yih odyahaly drevni
Smahlyavi yuni zinky.
I kelyhy sribni i chashy,
Shcho ishly po kruhu kolys,
Pokrylysya porohom chasu
I holodom tlinu vzyalys.
Ta moze, meni zdalosya –
A chas ne vse peremih.
Na chashah teplo zberehlosya
Tyh vust, shcho torkalysya yih.
I v puta tyazky klynopysni
Zakovana z davnih – daven.
V stepu ozyvaye pisnya
Davno zanimilyh plemen.
