Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the Ukrainian writer Bukovinian S.Vorobkevych (1863-1867) and his early poetry from the point of view of metrics, rhythm, rhyme and stanza division. It is shown that in the works of the poet’s second creative period, syllabic versification (96 %) with the predominance of any syllabic ordered forms dominates (the poet developed 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14- pattern). The poet created three works (4 %) within syllabotonics. He used 4-tact pentameter, and 2 -tact amphibrach with caesura. Most poetic works of S.Vorobkevych of this period have strophic structure. 8 types of stanzas are registered: quatrain, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-liners. In 72 % of all monostrophic stanzas 4-tact liners dominate. Among the quatrains we distinguish such scheme rhymes as: ABCB, AbCb, aBcB, abcb. In 16 % of works, pair rhyme is present (ААВВ). Interesting rhyme schemes are: ААВВ, ссdd, EEff, ААВВ, ссDD, ААВВ, с’с’DD. Three cross rhyme schemes are АВАВ, АbAb, та АВАВ і с’Dc’D. 5-liner stanzas (5,4 %) are characterized by the following rhyme schemes: aabbc, deeff, AABBA, AABBC. Rhymes ААВССВ and ААВВСС are peculiar for 6-liners. Rhyming АВАВССD is found in 7-liners. The 8-liners and 9-liners rhyme are according to АВВСDDCEE scheme. In the 10-liners, the rhyme scheme is ABCBDADAEE. Five works display the non-systematic rhyme scheme. In S. Vorobkevych’s verses of this period female rhyme dominates (74 %). In 13,6 % of poems male and female rhymes are applied alternatively. Male rhymes are registered in two works. Dactylic rhymes dominate in 2 poems. Accurate rhymes – 85 %; approximate – 10,4 %, inaccurate – 4,6 %. In 22 % of all works rhymes are accurate. The share of verbal rhyming is 37,7; 25,2 % are rhymes of different parts of speech.
