Thus in a foreign land I dreamed my dream, As if born again to the world In freedom once more. Grant me, Oh God, some time, In old age, perchance, To stand again on these stolen hills, In a little cottage, To bring my heart eaten out with sorrow To rest at last, on the hills above the Dnieper.
Taras Shevchenko (1848)
