His prayer was answered – v2

His prayer was answered,
his wish was fulfilled,
the longing of his spirit,
he was returned to the Dnipro…
 
Taken from the foreign land,
the place of his sorrow,
bringing him home,
to the hilltops, his rest…
 
His body was buried, planted,
in the dark soil, his homeland,
Shevchenko is forever
one with Ukraine…
