По осеннему кычет сова
 (Sung text for setting by G. Sviridov)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
По осеннему кычет сова 
Над раздольем дорожной рани. 
Облетает моя голова, 
Куст волос золотистый вянет. 

Полевое, степное «ку гу», 
Здравствуй, мать голубая осина! 
Скоро месяц, купаясь в снегу, 
Сядет в редкие кудри сына. 

Скоро мне без листвы холодеть, 
Звоном звезд насыпая уши. 
Без меня будут юноши петь, 
Не меня будут старцы слушать. 

Новый с поля придет поэт, 
В новом лес огласится свисте. 
По осеннему сыплет ветр, 
По осеннему шепчут листья.
