Sered lita

Sered lita, sered lita,
Kvitka, hradom perebyta,
Sered lita pochornila u rosi.
Krashche b divchyna zirvala,
Krashche b hlopciv charuvala
Sered lita u nezaimanii krasi.

Sered lita, sered lita
Chom ty smutkom zapovyta,
Sered lita ne vsmihayeshsya zori?
Bo u poli sered lita
Kvitka hradom perebyta,
Perebyta, yak kohannya na pori.

Sered lita, sered lita,
Sered zoryanoho cvitu
Tyazko-vazko rozhubyty pochuttya.
Sered bolju i tryvohy,
V bilyi den sered dorohy
Zupynylos poseredeni zyttya.
