[Contents]Hymn of ExileThe sun goes down beyond the hill,The shadows darken, birds are still;From fields no more come toiler’s voicesIn blissful rest the world rejoices.With lifted heart I, gazing stand,Seek shady grove in Ukraine’s land.Uplifted thus, ’mid memories fondMy heart finds rest, o’er the hills beyond.On fields and woods the darkness fallsFrom heaven blue a bright star calls,The tears fall down. Oh, evening star!Hast thou appeared in Ukraine far?In that fair land do sweet eyes seek theeDear eyes that once were wont to greet me?Have eyes forgotten their tryst to keep?Oh then, in slumber let them sleepNo longer o’er my fate to weep.Farmer’s house with well.[127]

The sun goes down beyond the hill,
The shadows darken, birds are still;
From fields no more come toiler’s voices
In blissful rest the world rejoices.
With lifted heart I, gazing stand,
Seek shady grove in Ukraine’s land.
Uplifted thus, ’mid memories fond
My heart finds rest, o’er the hills beyond.
On fields and woods the darkness falls
From heaven blue a bright star calls,
The tears fall down. Oh, evening star!
Hast thou appeared in Ukraine far?
In that fair land do sweet eyes seek thee
Dear eyes that once were wont to greet me?
Have eyes forgotten their tryst to keep?
Oh then, in slumber let them sleep
No longer o’er my fate to weep.
Farmer’s house with well.[127]
