Times are bad in my homeland right now. Here are some of my favorite pictures from my childhood Ukrainian story books.

Moonbeam's gentle light reached us.

Sleep, little one, the hour is late.

You will sleep well, until you know,

What sadness is.

Quickly you'll learn, misfortune and ill.

Harsh is the hour! Bitter each minute!

Evil does not sleep ...

Hush, child, in life there's much tears.

Shameful to bow to this, bend to you fate!

In your hour, you must fight it - lose rest and sleep

Moonbeam's gentle light reached out ...

Sleep, little one, while there is time!

- lullaby by Lesya Ukrainka, Ukrainian poet, author and playwright. Translation badly and on the fly by me.
