by Ivan Savvich Nikitin (1824 - 1861)
Mat' i doch'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Khuda, vetkha izbushka I, kak tjur'ma, tesna; Slepaja mat'-starushka Kak polotno bledna. Bednjazhka poterjala Svoi glaza i um I, kak rebjonok malyj, Chuzhda zabot i dum. Vsjo pesni raspevajet, Zabivshis' v ugolok, I zhizn' v nej dogorajet, Kak v lampe ogonjok. A doch' s voskhodom solnca Iglu svoju berjot, U svetlogo okonca Do tjomnoj nochi sh'jot. Zhara. Vokrug molchan'e, Lenivo den' idjot, Dokuchnykh mukh zhuzhzhan'e Pokoja ne dajot. Starushki tikhij golos Bez umolku zvuchit… I gnjotsja doch', kak kolos, Toska v grudi kipit. Narod neutomimo Po ulice snujot. Idjot vsjo mimo, mimo, — Bog vest', kuda idjot. Uzh noch'. Temno v izbushke. I nekomu meshat', Ostalosja k podushke Pripast' — i zarydat'.
