The Song of the Forest (1911), is a symbolist fantasy drama in verse that evokes the neo-romantic concept of “living nature.” It expressed Lesia Ukrainka's deepest idealistic outlook, focusing on the contrast between good and evil, loyalty and betrayal, and highlighting the ideal of harmony between human beings and nature, and the value of a free, independent spirit. The drama is based on popular legends, stories and folk songs she knew intimately from her childhood.
