Грусть девушки
 (Sung text for setting by A. Gurilyov)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Отчего, скажи,
Мой любимый серп,
Почернел ты весь,
Что коса моя?

Иль обрызган ты,
В скуке-горести,
По милом дружке
Слезой девичьей?

В широких степях
Дона тихого
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?...
Ах, не птица там
Летит по небу:
То печальный слух
Об нём носится...

Не к добру ж тоска
Давит белу грудь,
Нет, не к радости
Плакать хочется.
