Jasnym utrom na tichom prude Rezvo lastočki rejut krugom, Opuskajutsja k samoj vode, Čut' kasajutsja vlagi krylom. Na letu oni zvonko pojut, A vokrug zelenejut luga, I stoit, slovno zerkalo, prud, Otražaja svoi berega. I, kak v zerkale, mež trostnikov, S beregov oprokinulsja les, I uchodit uzor oblakov V glubinu otražënnych nebes. Oblaka tam nežnej i belej, Glubina — beskonečna, svetla… I donositsja merno s polej Nad vodoj tichij zvon iz sela.
