by Fyodor Nikolayevich Berg (1839 - 1909)

Zajka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zain`ka u elochki popry'givaet,
Lapochkoj ob lapochku pokolachivaet:

«E`kie morozy', prosti Gospodi, stoyat!
Elochki ot xolodu pod ineem treshhat.

Elochki ot xoloda potreskivayut,
Lapochki ot xoloda sovsem svelo.

Vot kaby' mne, zajke, muzhichonkom by't`,
Vot kaby' mne, zajke, da v lapotkax xodit`;

Zhit` by' mne da gret`sya v izbushechke
So svoeyu xozyayushkoj seren`koj.

Pirogi by' mne est`, da vsyo s kapustoyu,
Pirogi by' so sladkoyu morkovkoyu.

Na palatkax zimushku prolyozhivat`,
Po morozczu v sanochkax pokaty'vat`».
