Poem of 7B form
“My native land”
My native land,
The land of wonders,
Of autumn rains
And summer thunders.
The greenest hills
And magic lakes,
The tender breeze,
Romantic dales.
Amazing land –
My dear Ukraine.


Poem of 7V form
“Ukraine”
Blue sky and yellow field of grain
Is on the flag of my Ukraine.
Its emblem speaks to all the world
With FREEDOM – such a lovely word.
Bread–salt will give to a friendly guest
Ukrainian people without request.
They work and sing the song of praise
To God who’s able from ash to raise.
Ukraine rejoices in the Lord
Reviving from His mighty Word.
Forever lives who’s born again
Long live and pray, my land Ukraine!
