Вишнёвый садик возле хаты;
Жуки над вишнями гудят;
Плуг с нивы пахари тащат;
И, распеваючи, девчаты 
Домой на вечерю спешат.

Семья их ждёт, и всёго-тово;
Звезда вечерняя встаёт,
И дочка ужин подаёт.
А мать сказала бы ей слово,
Да соловейко не даёт.

Мать уложила возле хаты
Малюток-деточек своих;
Сама заснула возле них...
Затихло все... один девчаты,
Да соловейко не затих.
