Derevenskij storozh
Language: Russian (Русский)
Noch' temna, na nebe tuchi, Belyj sneg krugom, I razlit moroz treskuchij V vozdukhe nochnom. Vdol' po ulice shirokoj Izby muzhikov - Khodit storozh odinokoj, Slyshen skrip shagov. Zjabnet storozh; v'juga smelo [Zlitsja]1 vkrug nego, Na moroze pobelela Boroda jego. Skuchno! radost' izmenila, Skuchno odnomu; Pesn' jego zvuchit unylo Skvoz' metel' i t'mu. Khodit on v nochi bezlunnoj, Bela utra zhdjot I v kraja doski chugunnoj S tajnoj grust'ju b'jot. I, kachajas', zavyvajet Zvonkaja doska... Pushche serdce zamirajet, Tjazhelej toska!
