Kryzani vershnyky veletniv zymy

Chuyesh?.. vitry vovkamy zavyly
Tam, u nichnii vysochyni?
Chornym krylom ohorta nebo voron,
Vkryva nebokrai u zoryanim vbranni

Chuyesh?..
Kriz vitru vyi b’yut kopytamy
Pulsuyuchyi prostir, vkrytyi lodamy
Koni kryzanyh vershnykiv veletniv zymy

Pryspiv:
Nad horamy, nad lisamy – hmaramy –
Snihovymy sokilamy
Nad stepamy, nad kurhanamy –
Zoryamy vysokymy. (ves kuplet – 2)

Chuyesh?.. Vitry vovkamy zavyly
Z usyudy nesutsya vony
Mchat, a za nymy letyat shtormamy
Kryzani vershnyky veletniv zymy

Mchat! I nikudy vkrytysya
Vid ineyistyh mechiv!
Krychat! Tomu gvaltu vidlunnyam kotytysya,
Vidzvukom yih kryzanyh molotiv.

Lodyanymy iklamy v dushu vhryzetsya
Chyzo z sercya krovi nap’yetsya
Zhraya pivnichna, shcho peredvishchaye zahom,
Vershnykiv uperedzaye...
