K ptichke
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Blagovestnica prirody!
Spoj dlja prazdnika vesny
Pesnju gornej storony,
I vesel'ja, i svobody!

Rasskazhi mne, kak na vole,
Ty, bespechnaja, zhivesh'?
S kem znakomstva ty vedesh';
Chto pojesh' v lazurnom pole?

Ptichka, ptichka! Kak, otkuda
Ty vzjala takoj narjad?
Kak roskoshen, kak bogat!
Chto za prelest', chto za chudo!

Rasskazhi mne - v chas nenast'ja
Jest' li gde tebe prijut?
Kto s toboju delit trud,
Jest' li v kom k tebe uchast'e?

Gde tvoj dom: na vetke l' gibkoj,
Al' na mjagkoj murave,
Al' v nebesnoj sineve,
Al' nad tokom vlagi zybkoj?

A zimoj, kak sneg da v'jugi
K nam na sever naletjat,
Ptichki chto-to ne vidat'...
Znat', gostit ona na juge.

Strashno, ptichka! dal' da more
Da chuzhaja storona!
Ali vechno tam vesna,
Al' zimy ne strashno gore?

Net, ne verju! Ja pevun'ju
Ot meteli zaslonju,
V teploj kel'e skhoronju
Do vesny moju letun'ju!
