by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)

Стала скотинушка в лес убираться
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Стала скотинушка в лес убираться,
Стала рожь-матушка в колос метаться,
Бог нам послал урожай!
Нынче солома по грудь человеку,
Бог нам послал урожай!
Да не продлил тебе веку, —
Хочешь не хочешь, одна поспевай!..
Овод жужжит и кусает,
Смертная жажда томит,
Солнышко серп нагревает,
Солнышко очи слепит,
Жжет оно голову, плечи,
Ноженьки, рученьки жжет,
Изо ржи, словно из печи,
Тоже теплом обдает,
Спинушка ноет с натуги,
Руки и ноги болят,
Красные, желтые круги
Перед очами стоят...
Жни-дожинай поскорее,
Видишь — зерно потекло...
Вместе бы дело спорее,
Вместе повадней бы шло...
