Letom
Language: Russian (Русский)
Davno cherjomukha zavjala, I na sireni sred' sadov Uzh ne kachalis' opakhala Blagoukhajushchikh cvetov. Po dlinnym zherdjam khmel' zelenyj Vilsja vysokoju stenoj, I rdeli pyshnye piony, Nagnuvshis' nizko nad travoj. Gljadelis' zvezdy zolotye V strui prozrachnye reki, I slovno ochi golubye Vo rzhi sineli vasil'ki. My dozhdalis' srediny leta, No veshnikh dnej mne bylo zhal', I s `etoj radost'ju rascveta Prokralas' v dushu mne pechal'. Lishit'sja vnov' mne strashno stalo Vsego, chem zhizn' tak khorosha, Chego tak dolgo serdce zhdalo, Chego tak zhazhdala dusha!
