Tam bilyi kamin i chervona hlyna,
i hilka palmova u pavutyni,
i riznych chramiv starodavni stiny,
vklonyayut' pered Bohom svoyi tini.

Pisok haryachyi i haryachi holovy,
za serpantynom pahorby i yamy,
i stezky, shcho Hospod' protoptuvav,
svoyimy, a ne nashymy stupnyamy.

I vidstan vid Tavora do Holhofy,
yaku ne varto vymiryaty mylyamy –
tam z neba padayut' slova, ryadky i strofy
i nakryvayut' z holovoyu chvylyamy.

Tam bilyi kamin i chervona hlyna,
i hilka palmova u pavutyni,
i chramy hnut' svoyi mohutni spyny,
schylyvshys' pered Bohom na kolinach.
