by Aleksey Vasil'yevich Kol'tsov (1808 - 1842)
Грусть девушки
Language: Russian (Русский)
Отчего, скажи, Мой любимый серп, Почернел ты весь, Что коса моя? Иль обрызган ты, В скуке-горести, По [милу дружку]1 Слезой девичьей? В широких степях Дона [тихова]2 Зелена трава Давно скошена; На селе косцы Давно женятся Только нет его, Ясна сокола! Иль он бросил дом, Разлюбил меня, И не придёт уж К своей девице?...3 Не к добру ж тоска Давит белу грудь, [Ах]4, не к радости Плакать хочется.
