Da, vasil'ki, vasil'ki
Language: Russian (Русский)
Da, vasil'ki, vasil'ki... Mnogo mel'kalo ich v pole... Pomniš', do samoj reki My ich sbirali dlja Oli. Olečka brosit cvetok V reku, golovku naklonit... ,,Papa, - kričit, - vasilek Moj poplyvet, ne utonet?!`` JA eë na ruki bral, V glazki smotrel golubye, Nožki eë celoval, Blednye nožki, chudye. Kak ėti dni daleki... Dolgo l' tomit'sja ja budu? Vsë vasil'ki, vasil'ki, Krasnye, žëltye vsjudu... Vidiš', torčat na stene, Slyšiš', sbegajut po kryše, Vot podpolzajut ko mne, Lezut vsë vyše i vyše... Slyšiš', smejutsja oni... Bože, za čto ėti muki? Maša, spasi, otgoni, Krepče sožmi moi ruki! Pozdno! Vošli, vorvalis', Stali stenoj meždu nami, V golovu tak i vpilis', Koljut eë lepestkami. Rvetsja vsja grud' ot toski... Bože! kuda mne devat'sja? Vsë vasil'ki, vasil'ki... Kak oni smejut smejat'sja?
