Зимняя песнь

Поёт зима - аукает,
Мохнатый лес баюкает
   Стозвоном сосняка.
Кругом с тоской глубокою
Плывут в страну далекую
   Седые облака.

А по двору метелица
Ковром шелковым стелется,
   Но больно холодна.
Воробышки игривые,
Как детки сиротливые,
   Прижались у окна. 

Озябли пташки малые,
Голодные, усталые,
   И жмутся поплотней.
А вьюга с ревом бешеным
Стучит по ставням свешенным
   И злится все сильней. 

И дремлют пташки нежные
Под эти вихри снежные
   У мерзлого окна.
И снится им прекрасная,
В улыбках солнца ясная
   Красавица весна.
