by Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825 - 1893)

Na beregu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Domik nad rekoju,
V oknakh ogonjok,
Svetloj polosoju 
Na vodu on ljog.

V dome ne dozhdutsja
S lovli rybaka:
Obeshchal vernut'sja
Cherez dva den'ka.

No proshjol i tretij,
A jego vsjo net,
Zhdut naprasno deti,
Zhdjot i staryj ded,

Vsekh neterpelivej
Zhdjot jego zhena,
Nochi molchalivej
I kak kholst bledna.

Vot za uzhin seli,
Jej ne do jedy:
«Kak by v samom dele
Ne bylo bedy!»

Vdol' reki nesjotsja
Lodochka, na nej
Pesnja razdajotsja
Vsjo slyshnej, slyshnej,

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

Veselo vskochila
Iz-za prjalki mat',
I u deda sila
Vdrug nashlas' bezhat'.

Pesnju zaglushajet
Zvonkij krik rebjat;
Tshchetno unimajet
Staryj ded vnuchat.

Vot i vorotilsja,
Vesjol i zdorov!
V rosskazni pustilsja
Totchas pro ulov.

V mordy on i v seti
Nalovil vsego.
S ljubopytstvom deti
Slushajut jego.

Smotrit ded na shuku:
«Bol'no velika!»
Mat' synishke v ruku
Sujet okun'ka,

Devochka prisela
Okolo setej
I vzjala nesmelo
Parochku jershej.

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

Dolgo razdavalsja
Smekh ikh nad rekoj;
Imi ljubovalsja
Mesjac zolotoj. 

Laskovo mercali
Zvjozdy s vyshiny,
Detjam obeshchali
Radostnye sny.
