by Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825 - 1893)

V staryj sad vychožu ja, rosinki
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V staryj sad vychožu ja, rosinki
Kak almazy na list'jach [gorjat]1;
I cvety mne golovkoj kivajut, 
Razlivaja krugom aromat.

Vse vlečet, veselit moi vzory: 
Zolotaja pčela na cvetke,
Raznocvetnye babočki kryl'ja 
I [pryžki vorob'ja na peske]2.

Kak jarka ėta zelen' derev'ev! 
Kupol neba kak čist i glubok!
I brožu ja, vostorgom ob"jatyj, 
I sleza zastilaet zračok.

Kak ljubov'ju i radost'ju dyšit 
Vsja priroda pod vešnim lučom,
I duša blagodarnaja čuet 
Zdes' prisutstvie Boga vo vsem!

Snova krepnut dremavšie sily;
Novoj žizni prichodit pora,
I stanovitsja vse tak vozmožnym,
Čto mečtoju kazalos' včera!

Kak prekrasna vesna! Milliony
Ej navstreču zvučat golosov,
I v moëm voskresajuščem serdce
Ej privet vdochnovennyj gotov!
