by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

В сердце светит Русь
Language: Russian (Русский) 
О пашни, пашни, пашни,
Коломенская грусть.
На сердце день вчерашний,
А в сердце светит Русь…

Как птицы, свищут версты
Из-под копыт коня.
И брызжет солнце горстью
Свой дождик на меня.

О, край разливов грозных
И тихих вешних сил,
Здесь по заре и звездам
Я школу проходил.

И мыслил и читал я
По библии ветров,
И пас со мной Исайя
Моих златых коров.
