“Мусить буть! — скажи — і стане,
Захотіти — досягти!
Духа в льоті до мети
Не затримають кайдани.

Підеш ти — і ляжуть гори,
І розстеляться яри,
І тебе самі вітри
Понесуть в ясні простори.

Ти самотній? завжди? всюди?
Вище, вгору прапор свій!
У пустелі життьовій
Без мети блукають люде.

Вдар не в дзвін, а в серце дуже,
Зважся жить або не жить,—
І каміння закричить,
І запаляться байдужі.

Встань, піди — і ляжуть гори,
І розстеляться яри,
І тебе самі вітри
Понесуть в ясні простори.”
Олександр Олесь, Поетичні твори. Лірика. Поза збірками. З неопублікованого. Сатира
