The selection of Lesya Ukrainka's poetic works includes the romantic poems 'You are happy, pure stars', 'Ancient spring', 'I would like to become a song' and the poem 'An ancient fairy tale'. In them, the dreams of a lyrical heroine are interspersed with personal sadness. The plot-rich poem 'An Ancient Tale' is about the eternal dispute between the material and the spiritual, about humanity and cruelty, which are always close to each other on the path of life.
