by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 - 1822)
Translation by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)
Тоскует птичка одиноко
Language: Russian (Русский) after the English
Тоскует птичка одиноко Средь чащи елей и берёз; Кругом, куда ни глянет око Холодный снег поля занёс. На зимних ветках помертвелых Нет ни единого листка; Среди полян печальных, белых — Ни птиц, ни травки, ни цветка. И плачет птичка одиноко, А воздух тих, сильней мороз, И еле слышно издалёка Роптанье мельничных колёс.
