by Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825 - 1893)

Na beregu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Domik nad rekoyu,
V oknax ogonyok,
Svetloj polosoyu 
Na vodu on lyog.

V dome ne dozhdutsya
S lovli ry'baka:
Obeshhal vernut`sya
Cherez dva den`ka.

No proshyol i tretij,
A ego vsyo net,
Zhdut naprasno deti,
Zhdyot i stary'j ded,

Vsex neterpelivej
Zhdyot ego zhena,
Nochi molchalivej
I kak xolst bledna.

Vot za uzhin seli,
Ej ne do edy':
«Kak by' v samom dele
Ne by'lo bedy'!»

Vdol` reki nesyotsya
Lodochka, na nej
Pesnya razdayotsya
Vsyo sly'shnej, sly'shnej,

Zvuki toj znakomoj
Pesni usly'xav,
Deti von iz doma
Brosilis` stremglav.

Veselo vskochila
Iz-za pryalki mat`,
I u deda sila
Vdrug nashlas` bezhat`.

Pesnyu zaglushaet
Zvonkij krik rebyat;
Tshhetno unimaet
Stary'j ded vnuchat.

Vot i vorotilsya,
Vesyol i zdorov!
V rosskazni pustilsya
Totchas pro ulov.

V mordy' on i v seti
Nalovil vsego.
S lyubopy'tstvom deti
Slushayut ego.

Smotrit ded na shuku:
«Bol`no velika!»
Mat` sy'nishke v ruku
Suet okun`ka,

Devochka prisela
Okolo setej
I vzyala nesmelo
Parochku ershej.

Pry'gayut, smeyutsya
Detki, esli vdrug
Ry'bki vstrepenutsya,
Vy'skol`znut iz ruk.

Dolgo razdavalsya
Smex ix nad rekoj;
Imi lyubovalsya
Mesyacz zolotoj. 

Laskovo merczali
Zvyozdy' s vy'shiny',
Detyam obeshhali
Radostny'e sny'.
