Inaja zima
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja pomnju, kak det'mi, s rumjanymi ščekami, Po snegu chrupkomu my begali s toboj — Nas dobraja zima kosmatymi rukami Laskala i k ognju sgonjala nas kljukoj; A pozdnim večerom tvoi sijali glazki I na tebja gljadel iz pečki ogonëk, A njanja staraja nam skazyvala skazki O tom, kak žil da byl na svete duračok. No ta zima ot nas ušla s ulybkoj maja, I letnij žar prostyl — i vot, zaslyša voj Osennej buri, k nam idët zima inaja, Zima bezdušnaja — i už grozit kljukoj. A njanja staraja už nožki protjanula — I spit sebe v grobu, i daže ne gljadit, Kak ty, ustalaja, k moej grudi pril'nula, Kak budto slušaeš', čto serdce govorit. A serdce v ėtu noč', kak njanja, k detskoj laske Neravnodušnoe, razdulo ogonëk I na uško tebe rasskazyvaet skazki, O tom, kak žil da byl na svete duračok.
