Пью за здравие Мери
Language: Russian (Русский) after the English
Пью за [здравие]1 Мери, Милой Мери моей. Тихо запер я двери И один, без гостей Пью за здравие Мери. [Можно краше]2 быть Мери, Краше Мери моей, Этой маленькой пери; Но нельзя быт милей Резвой, ласковой Мери. Будь же счастлива, Мери, Солнце жизни моей! Ни тоски, ни потери, Ни ненастливых дней Пусть не ведает Мери.
