by Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825 - 1893)

Na beregu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Domik nad rekoju,
V oknach ogonëk,
Svetloj polosoju 
Na vodu on lëg.

V dome ne doždutsja
S lovli rybaka:
Obeščal vernut'sja
Čerez dva den'ka.

No prošël i tretij,
A ego vsë net,
Ždut naprasno deti,
Ždët i staryj ded,

Vsech neterpelivej
Ždët ego žena,
Noči molčalivej
I kak cholst bledna.

Vot za užin seli,
Ej ne do edy:
«Kak by v samom dele
Ne bylo bedy!»

Vdol' reki nesëtsja
Lodočka, na nej
Pesnja razdaëtsja
Vsë slyšnej, slyšnej,

Zvuki toj znakomoj
Pesni uslychav,
Deti von iz doma
Brosilis' stremglav.

Veselo vskočila
Iz-za prjalki mat',
I u deda sila
Vdrug našlas' bežat'.

Pesnju zaglušaet
Zvonkij krik rebjat;
Tščetno unimaet
Staryj ded vnučat.

Vot i vorotilsja,
Vesël i zdorov!
V rosskazni pustilsja
Totčas pro ulov.

V mordy on i v seti
Nalovil vsego.
S ljubopytstvom deti
Slušajut ego.

Smotrit ded na šuku:
«Bol'no velika!»
Mat' syniške v ruku
Suet okun'ka,

Devočka prisela
Okolo setej
I vzjala nesmelo
Paročku eršej.

Prygajut, smejutsja
Detki, esli vdrug
Rybki vstrepenutsja,
Vyskol'znut iz ruk.

Dolgo razdavalsja
Smech ich nad rekoj;
Imi ljubovalsja
Mesjac zolotoj. 

Laskovo mercali
Zvëzdy s vyšiny,
Detjam obeščali
Radostnye sny.
