by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

`Eto — vesna!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
  `Eto — vesna!
Nebo gljadit sentjabrjom,
Zhutko sidet' u okna;
‎  Mgla za oknom.
L'diny plyvut, — tuchi, — kholod, —
Dyshit miazmami gorod…
‎  `Eto — vesna!

  ‎`Eto — vesna!
O, likhoradochnyj bred!
V pole trava chut' vidna —
‎  Listika net.
Po sadu chinno guljaja,
Drognut poklonniki maja… —
‎  `Eto — vesna!

‎  `Eto — vesna!
O! jesli russkij narod
Tak zhe vstajot oto sna,
  ‎Tak zhe cvetjot!.. —
Prelest' takogo rascveta
Ne vdokhnovit i po`eta… —
‎  `Eto — vesna!

  ‎`Eto — vesna!
Dajte zh tepla, chtob poroj
Vejalo mne iz okna
‎  Svezhej grozoj, —
Chtob solnce, kak serdce, gorelo, —
Chtob vsjo govorilo i pelo:
‎  Zdravstvuj, vesna!
