Як умру, то поховайте Мене на могилі Серед степу широкого На Вкраїні милій, Щоб лани широкополі, І Дніпро, і кручі Було видно, було чути, Як реве ревучий. Як понесе з України У синєє море Кров ворожу... отойді я І лани і гори — Все покину, і полину До самого Бога Молитися... а до того Я не знаю Бога. Поховайте та вставайте, Кайдани порвіте І вражою злою кров’ю Волю окропіте. І мене в сем’ї великій, В сем’ї вольній, новій, Не забудьте пом’янути Незлим тихим словом.

The monument is located near the "Testament" museum. This museum is dedicated to the life and work of an outstanding Ukrainian writer. To commemorate the 200th anniversary of the poet's birth in 2014, a new black polished granite plaque was attached to the pedestal, with an inscription of a text excerpt copied from the facsimile edition of the “Three Summers” collection.
