Kosy' rastrepany', strashnaya, belaya, Begaet, begaet, rezvaya, smelaya. Temnaya noch` molchalivo pugaetsya, Shalyami tuchek luna zakry'vaetsya. Veter-pevun s zavy'van`em klikush Mchitsya v lesnuyu dremuchuyu glush`. Roshha grozitsya elovy'mi pikami, Pryachutsya sovy' s puglivy'mi krikami. Mashet koldun`ya rukami kostlyavy'mi. Zvezdy' morgayut iz tuch nad dubravami. Ser`gami zmei pod kosmy' privesheny', Kruzhitsya s v`yugoyu strashno i besheno. Plyashet koldun`ya pod zvon sosnyaka. S chernoyu drozh`yu ply'vut oblaka.
