Oak-grove, darkly-shadowed spinney. 
Thrice in the year’s course 
A new robe you wear. ... A rich 
Father must be yours!
Firstly in a cloak of green 
He adorns you richly,
And himself is all amazed
To look upon his spinney.
Looks his fill upon his darling, 
Well-beloved and young,
Takes her then and robes her newly 
In a golden gown;
Wraps her in a costly mantle 
Of the purest white,
Then, all weary from his labours,
Lies down for the night.

 

Poem of Taras Shevchenko
"Oy dibrovo - temnyy hayu!"
1860, St. Petersburg
