by Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin (1870 - 1953)

На пруде
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ясным утром на тихом пруде
‎Резво ласточки реют кругом,
Опускаются к самой воде,
‎Чуть касаются влаги крылом.

На лету они звонко поют,
‎А вокруг зеленеют луга,
И стоит, словно зеркало, пруд,
‎Отражая свои берега.

И, как в зеркале, меж тростников,
‎С берегов опрокинулся лес,
И уходит узор облаков
‎В глубину отражённых небес.

Облака там нежней и белей,
‎Глубина — бесконечна, светла…
И доносится мерно с полей
‎Над водой тихий звон из села.
