Vesna
Language: Russian (Русский)
Už taet sneg, begut ruč'i, V okno povejalo vesnoju... Zasviščut skoro solov'i, I les odenetsja listvoju! Čista nebesnaja lazur', Teplej i jarče solnce stalo; Pora metelej zlych i bur' Opjat' nadolgo minovala. I serdce sil'no tak v grudi Stučit, kak budto ždët čego-to; Kak budto sčast'e vperedi, I unesla zima zaboty! Vse lica veselo gljadjat. «Vesna!» - čitaeš' v každom vzore; I tot, kak prazdniku, ej rad, Č'ja žizn' - liš' tjažkij trud i gore. No rezvych detok zvonkij smech I bezzabotnych ptiček pen'e Mne govorjat -- kto bol'še vsech Prirody ljubit obnovlen'e!
