# Hope > Lesya Ukrainka's first poem **Published by:** [markrobinson7510625](https://paragraph.com/@markrobinson7510625/) **Published on:** 2024-05-28 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@markrobinson7510625/hope ## Content I have neither fate nor will, Only hope remains: The hope of returning to my country once more, To look once again at my native country, To look once more at the blue Dnipro River. To live or die there, I don't care; To look once more at the steppe, the graves, To recall the last of my fervent thoughts... I have no fate, no will, Only hope remains. ## Publication Information - [markrobinson7510625](https://paragraph.com/@markrobinson7510625/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@markrobinson7510625/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@markrobinson7510625): Subscribe to updates ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://paragraph.com/@markrobinson7510625/hope): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://paragraph.com/@markrobinson7510625/hope/collectors): See who has collected this post
