Da, vasil`ki, vasil`ki
Language: Russian (Русский)
Da, vasil`ki, vasil`ki... Mnogo mel`kalo ix v pole... Pomnish`, do samoj reki My' ix sbirali dlya Oli. Olechka brosit czvetok V reku, golovku naklonit... ,,Papa, - krichit, - vasilek Moj poply'vet, ne utonet?!`` YA eyo na ruki bral, V glazki smotrel goluby'e, Nozhki eyo celoval, Bledny'e nozhki, xudy'e. Kak e`ti dni daleki... Dolgo l` tomit`sya ya budu? Vsyo vasil`ki, vasil`ki, Krasny'e, zhyolty'e vsyudu... Vidish`, torchat na stene, Sly'shish`, sbegayut po kry'she, Vot podpolzayut ko mne, Lezut vsyo vy'she i vy'she... Sly'shish`, smeyutsya oni... Bozhe, za chto e`ti muki? Masha, spasi, otgoni, Krepche sozhmi moi ruki! Pozdno! Voshli, vorvalis`, Stali stenoj mezhdu nami, V golovu tak i vpilis`, Kolyut eyo lepestkami. Rvetsya vsya grud` ot toski... Bozhe! kuda mne devat`sya? Vsyo vasil`ki, vasil`ki... Kak oni smeyut smeyat`sya?
