by Aleksandr Nikolayevich Ostrovsky (1823 - 1886)
Нет‑то злей, постылее
Language: Russian (Русский)
Нет-то злей, постылее Злой сиротской доли, Злее горя лютого, Тяжелей неволи. Всем на свете праздничек, Тебе не веселье!… Буйной ли головушке Без вина похмелье! Молодость не радует, Красота не тешит; Не заноба-девушка - Горе кудри чешет.
