Explore "The Water Fairy" by Taras Shevchenko on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Me my mother bore / 'Mid lofty palace walls, / Me at midnight hour / In Dnieper's flood she bathed; / And bathing, she murmured / Over little me: / "Swim, swim, little maid, / Adown the Dnieper water, / You'll swim out a fairy / Next midnight, my daughter.
I go to dance with him, / My faithless lover; / You'll come and lure him / Into the river.
