by Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov, Grand Duke of Russia (1858 - 1915)

Вернулся Май! Уж журавли
Language: Russian (Русский) 
[Вернулся Май! Уж журавли]1
‎Обратно прилетели,
Луга цветами зацвели,
‎Леса зазеленели.
За богатырским сном зимы
‎Настало пробужденье,
Как после ночи долгой тьмы
‎Денницы возрожденье.
Земля как будто лишь ждала
‎Весеннего лобзанья,
И в миг природа ожила,
‎И всюду ликованье.
Весь мир поет, и ширь полей,
‎И рощи тихий шелест,
И в каждой песне соловей
‎Весны волшебной прелесть.
Порою вешнею счастлив
‎Поэт: уж он не дремлет
И силы творческой прилив
‎Душою чуткой внемлет;
Он ударяет по струнам,
‎И, полно вдохновенья,
Его свободно к небесам
‎Несется песнопенье.
