Багато люду йшло юрбою,
Не знаючи куди їх доля заведе –
Чи успіх, чи нещастя
Розділять порівну усі.
Один з них шлях шукав новий
Й забрів у непролазні хащі,
Де, заблукавши, вмер на самоті.
За це для решти він – герой.

There were many who went in huddled procession,
They knew not whither;
But, at any rate, success or calamity
Would attend all in equality.
There was one who sought a new road.
He went into direful thickets,
And ultimately he died thus, alone;
But they said he had courage.
