by Nikolai Platonovich Ogaryov (1813 - 1877)

By'la chudesnaya vesna!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
By'la chudesnaya vesna!
Oni na beregu sideli -
Reka by'la tixa, yasna,
Vstavalo solnce, ptichki peli;
Tyanulsya za rekoyu dol,
Spokojno, py'shno zeleneya;
Vblizi shipovnik aly'j czvel,
Stoyala temny'x lip alleya.

By'la chudesnaya vesna!
Oni na beregu sideli -
Vo czvete let by'la ona,
Ego usy' edva cherneli.
O, esli b kto uvidel ix
Togda, pri utrennej ix vstreche,
I licza b vy'smotrel u nix
Ili podslushal by' ix rechi -
Kak by'l by' mil emu yazy'k,
Yazy'k lyubvi pervonachal`noj!
On verno b sam, na e`tot mig,
Rasczvel na dne dushi pechal`noj!..
YA v svete vstretil ix potom:
Ona by'la zhenoj drugogo,
On by'l zhenat, i o by'lom
V pomine ne by'lo ni slova;
Na liczax viden by'l pokoj,
Ix zhizn` tekla svetlo i rovno,
Oni, vstrechayas` mezh soboj,
Mogli smeyat`sya xladnokrovno...
A tam, po beregu reki,
Gde czvel togda shipovnik aly'j,
Odni prosty'e ry'baki
Xodili k lodke obvetshaloj
I peli pesni - i temno
Ostalos`, dlya lyudej zakry'to,
Chto by'lo tam govoreno,
I skol`ko by'lo pozaby'to.
