“I carried evening lilac to you . . . ” 

Written by Dmytro Chystiak  

Translated from the Ukrainian by Hilary Sheers  

Narrated by Bill Wolak 

Kiev Ukraine

I carried evening lilac to you 

Imbedded by my forebears 

Flooded by honeyed showers 

You will envelop me as in a dream 

The fleeting and the volatile come to life 

The lilac blossom holds no tears.
