Chasovoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Polnoch`. Zlaya stuzha Na dvore treshhit. Mesyacz oblakami Sery'mi zakry't. U bol`shogo zdan`ya V ulice gluxoj Merny'mi shagami Xodit chasovoj. Pod ego nogami Zhestkij sneg xrustit, A krugom [gluxaya]1 Ulicza molchit; No shagaet rovno Bravy'j chasovoj, I ruzh`e on krepko Zhmet k plechu rukoj. Vspomnilsya soldatu Kraj ego rodnoj; Vspomnilas` izbushka S beloyu truboj; Vspomnilas` golubka, Milaya zhena: [Chaj,]2 teper` na pechke Spit davno ona. Mozhet by't`, ej snitsya, Kak moroz treshhit, Kak soldat ozyabshij Na chasax stoit.
