by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)
Ещё в полях белеет снег
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ещё в полях белеет снег, А воды уж весной шумят -- Бегут и будят сонный брег, Бегут, и блещут, и гласят... Они гласят во все концы: «Весна идёт, весна идёт! Мы молодой весны гонцы, Она нас выслала вперёд. Весна идёт, весна [идёт,]1 И тихих, тёплых майских дней Румяный, светлый хоровод Толпится весело за [ней!...»]2
