Перевидите (literature is may favorite subject at school.ukrainian is my mother tongue, so l understand its beauty very well. that's why i'm fond of the world of ukrainian poetry. it's the poetry of love for people and the native land. every ukrainian should read such famous authors as taras shevchenko, ivan franko or lesia ukrainka. they described the real life of ukrainian people in the past. their books ave very truthful and interesting. among the modern ukrainian poets i like lina kostenko most of all. i study english at school. i hope that time will come and i'll be able to read the poetry of famous english poets like william shakespeare, robert burns and george gordon byron in the original. i'm trying to do this now, but mostly l've read poets opened their great and generous hearts to us. here's my favorite poem by robert burns, a scottish national poet. and l am proud to show my own transla of this beautiful poem.
