| | Songs of Ukraina. |
 | | Seven feet deep is the fl soil of Ukraina, bringing forth from one seed one hundred and twenty fold. |
 | | Now naught is left of Ukraina save her songs–but in that song she still lives, engraved in the heart of the people. |
 | | Moscow, Tartary, Lithuania, Poland, Turkey–what neighbours!–the Hetmans, wars and revolutions–at length the fall of Seech, the last stand of Ukrainian freedom–the whole Ukrainian history was put into song by the Kobzars, the rhapsodists, and if the Ukraine has lost her written history it is still preserved in her historical songs. |
