THE SENSES AND NONSENSES OF PAVLO TYCHYNA
CLARINETS OF THE SUN (1918)
NOT ZEUS, OR PAN, OR THE DOVE-SPIRIT...
THE CLOUDS SWIRLED INTO CURLS...
GROVES RUSTLE
LIKE HARPS, LIKE HARPS
SOMEWHERE SPRING APPROACHED...
THE FLOWER IN MY HEART...
DON’T LOOK SO FONDLY...
I CRIED FROM LOVE, I SOBBED...
O MISS INNA...
I’M STANDING AT THE BEND...
THE POPLARS IN THE FALLOW FIELD ARE FREE...
A GIRL’S EMBROIDERING...
A FLOWERY MEADOW...
O NATURE, DON’T CONCEAL...
THE BIRDS ARE STILL...
IT’S DAWNING...
ENHARMONIES
THEY TRAMPLE FLOWERS...
TO THE CATHEDRAL
PASTELS
I WENT TO THE GROVE...
SOMEONE WAS CARESSING THE FIELDS...
ON STEEP CLIFFS...
A CHILD WENT OUT FOR BREAD...
OPEN THE DOOR...
SORROWFUL MOTHER
