by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Моей молоденькой соседке
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Моей молоденькой соседке
Уж минуло шестнадцать лет;
У ней голубенькие глазки
И очень узенький корсет.
Bonjour! я ей сказал однажды
И ей отвесил мой поклон,—
С тех пор, при каждой нашей встрече
Она краснеет, как пион,
Не говорит со мной, дичится,
От маменьки не отстает…
Мой Бог! чего она боится?
Она не мышь, а я не кот…
Ей-ей, не нахожу причины…

‎А впрочем, господа,—
‎Листы молоденькой осины
‎Дрожат без ветра иногда.
