by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Ėto — vesna!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
  Ėto — vesna!
Nebo gljadit sentjabrëm,
Žutko sidet' u okna;
‎  Mgla za oknom.
L'diny plyvut, — tuči, — cholod, —
Dyšit miazmami gorod…
‎  Ėto — vesna!

  ‎Ėto — vesna!
O, lichoradočnyj bred!
V pole trava čut' vidna —
‎  Listika net.
Po sadu činno guljaja,
Drognut poklonniki maja… —
‎  Ėto — vesna!

‎  Ėto — vesna!
O! esli russkij narod
Tak že vstaët oto sna,
  ‎Tak že cvetët!.. —
Prelest' takogo rascveta
Ne vdochnovit i poėta… —
‎  Ėto — vesna!

  ‎Ėto — vesna!
Dajte ž tepla, čtob poroj
Vejalo mne iz okna
‎  Svežej grozoj, —
Čtob solnce, kak serdce, gorelo, —
Čtob vsë govorilo i pelo:
‎  Zdravstvuj, vesna!
