by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)

Птички‑ласточки, летите
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Птички-ласточки, летите
К прежней любушке моей:
Не ждала б она, скажите,
Мила друга из гостей.

Во чужой земле сгубила
Зла волшебница меня,
И меня приворожила,
И испортила коня.

Я коня ли оседлаю —
Расседлается он сам;
Без седла ли выезжаю —
Гром и буря в встречу нам!

У нее слова такие:
Скажет — реки не текут!
С неба звезды золотые,
Словно яблочки, спадут!

Глянет в очи — словно хлынет
В сердце свет с её лица;
Улыбнется — словно кинет
Алой розой в молодца!
