Зимой
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Снежным покровом одета природа зимой. Где шум листвы? Где весны веселые дни? Холодно, жутко глядит окрестная даль, Сжимает сердце печаль И холод, холод разлуки с тобой! Сквозь ветви я вижу-вдали дорогает заря; Хочется верить, что я вновь увижу тебя... Где счастья дни? Где радость встречи с тобой? Изчезло всё навсегда... На сердце, на сердце как будто зима!
