by Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825 - 1893)

Čto ty ponikla, zelënaja ivuška?
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Čto ty ponikla, zelënaja ivuška?
  Čto tak unylo šumiš'?
Ili o gore moëm ty provedala, 
  Vmeste so mnoju grustiš'?

Šepčutsja list'ja tvoi serebristye,
  Šepčutsja s čistoj volnoj...
Ne obo mne li tot šëpot tainstvennyj
  Vy zaveli mež soboj?

Znat', ne ukrylasja duma gnetuščaja,
  Černaja duma ot vas!
Vy razgadali, o čëm ėti žgučija
  Slëzy lilisja iz glaz?

V šëpote vašem ja slyšu učastie;
  Mne vam otradno vnimat'...
Tol'ko prirode stradan'ja nezrimyja
  Ducha dano vračevat'!
