Prišel mesjac‑bokogrej
Language: Russian (Русский)
«Prišel mesjac-bokogrej, Zemlju-matušku ne grel — Bok korove obogrel, I korove, i konju, I sedomu stariku Morozu Morozyču… Ty, Morozko, ne serčaj, Iz derevni ubegaj — Čto za tridevjat' zemel', [Da]1 za tridesjat' morej! Tam tvoë chozjajstvo Ždët tebja — zabrošeno, Belym snegom zaporošeno, Za ledjanymi pečatjami, Za sem'ju železnymi zamkami Da za sem'ju zasovami!» —
A. Gretchaninov sets lines 6-13
