Tajot sneg — i solnce jarko
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Tajot sneg — i solnce jarko
Bleshchet v polden' nad poljami;
V bleske solnca vlazhnyj veter
Po lesam-poljam guljajet.
No polja jeshchjo pustynny,
No lesa jeshchjo bezmolvny;
Tol'ko sosny, tochno arfy,
Napevajut odnotonno.
I pod ikh napev nejasnyj,
V zapovednykh chashchakh bora,
Sladko spit vesna-carevna
V belosnezhnom sarkofage.
Spit, — a skoro uzh v dolinakh
Solnce belyj sneg rastopit,
I pojdut burlit' potoki
Po dolinam i ovragam.
Naletjat lesnye pticy,
Zashumjat grachi, a s nimi —
Zacvetut, zazelenejut,
Ozhivut lesa i roshchi.
I pridet aprel'-carevich
Iz zamorskikh stran dalekikh
Na zare, kogda v dolinakh
Tajut sinije tumany,
Na zare, kogda ot solnca
Pakhnet les zelenoj khvojej,
Pakhnet teploju zemleju
I aprel'skimi cvetami,
I sklonitsja on s ulybkoj
Nad carevnoju bezmolvnoj
I pril'net k ustam carevny
Krepko zharkimi ustami,
I ona v ispuge vzdrognet,
Razomknet svoi resnicy,
Gljanet, vspykhnet — i ulybkoj
Ozarit ves' mir vljublennyj!
