by Aleksey Vasil'yevich Kol'tsov (1808 - 1842)

Светит солнышко –
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Светит солнышко –
Да осенью;
Цветут цветики –
Да не в пору;
 
А весной была
Степь желтая,
Тучки плавали
Без дождика.
 
По ночам роса
Где падала, –
Поутру трава
Там сохнула.
 
И все пташечки,
Касаточки,
Пели грустно так
И жалобно, –
 
Что, их слушая,
Кровь стынула,
По душе лилась
Боль смертная.
 
Так прошла моя
Вся молодость, –
Без любви-души,
Без радости.
