Tanec tinei

Iduchy vnochi, natrapyv ya na svitlo,
Pomiz derev vohon horiv,
U pevnyi chas syudy zlitalys tini
Na temnyi shabash miz lisiv.

Vony bezdumno tancyuvaly
U svitli teploho vohnyu,
Pisni pro nich sobi spivaly
I dushu klykaly moyu.

I ya pishov na yihnii zaklyk,
Na myt ya stav odnym iz nyh,
My pyly krov, molylys nochi,
Pid kronamy derev staryh.

Meni vidkryly tayemnycyu,
Shcho yihnya syla-samota,
A smert lyshe doroha v vichnist,
Tomu dlya nyh vona svyata.

A z pershym promenem vsi znykly,
Yak tilky kryknuly sychi,
Lyshyvshy v serci tilky spohad,
Pro dyvnyi tanec unochi.

I raz na vichnist pid zirkamy
Mene ty znaidesh sered nyh,
My budemo spivaty i tancyuvaty
Prekrasnyi tanec duhiv lisovyh.
