The key material of the research deals with a special literary work, known as drama-fairy "Forest Song" by this famous Ukrainian writer. Discourse analysis is used as the scientific method. The results obtained that the author's inspiration from myth in this drama makes it possible to point out it as the important feature of the writer's outlook and thinking. The article considers the role of the early years in the life of this person as a prosperous young woman who was conducted among the townspeople and peasants of Volhynia and stated that due to Larisa Kosach, who is known under the pseudonym Lesya Ukrainka, joined the cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people and their aesthetic tradition, values, ideals, etc. In addition, she became interested in Ukrainian folk art, as well as mythology and folklore, life and customs of Volhynia and Polissya as Ukrainian regions, becoming their good connoisseur. This is evidenced, for example, by an accurate description of a rare natural phenomenon, which, in Volhynia and Polissya, is called Flute. The writer shows herself as a thoughtful researcher of the worldview, beliefs and demonological representations of the inhabitants at this Ukrainian cultural region. The conclusions are made that the article argues about the influence of philosophical ideas of gilozoicism on the worldview, thinking and aesthetic impulses of the writer's work, as evidenced by the author's text and the plot of her drama-fiction "Forest Song". In this study a phenomenon of "aesthetics of the miraculous" is analysed. The connection between the aesthetic and mythological moments of this artistic work is analysed too.
