Chasovoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Polnoch'. Zlaja stuzha Na dvore treshchit. Mesjac oblakami Serymi zakryt. U bol'shogo zdan'ja V ulice glukhoj Mernymi shagami Khodit chasovoj. Pod jego nogami Zhestkij sneg khrustit, A krugom [glukhaja]1 Ulica molchit; No shagajet rovno Bravyj chasovoj, I ruzh'e on krepko Zhmet k plechu rukoj. Vspomnilsja soldatu Kraj jego rodnoj; Vspomnilas' izbushka S beloju truboj; Vspomnilas' golubka, Milaja zhena: [Chaj,]2 teper' na pechke Spit davno ona. Mozhet byt', jej snitsja, Kak moroz treshchit, Kak soldat ozjabshij Na chasakh stoit.
