Lesson 33 Favourite Writer

1. Read and learn the first column of a poem.

MY TESTAMENT

T Shevchenko

When I am dead, then bury me

In my beloved Ukraine,

My tomb upon a grave mound high

Amid the splendid plain.

So that the fields, the boundless steppes,

The Dnieper’s plunging shore

My eyes could see, my ears could hear

The mighty river roar.

Translated by John Weir
