Da, vasil'ki, vasil'ki
Language: Russian (Русский)
Da, vasil'ki, vasil'ki... Mnogo mel'kalo ikh v pole... Pomnish', do samoj reki My ikh sbirali dlja Oli. Olechka brosit cvetok V reku, golovku naklonit... ,,Papa, - krichit, - vasilek Moj poplyvet, ne utonet?!`` Ja jejo na ruki bral, V glazki smotrel golubye, Nozhki jejo celoval, Blednye nozhki, khudye. Kak `eti dni daleki... Dolgo l' tomit'sja ja budu? Vsjo vasil'ki, vasil'ki, Krasnye, zhjoltye vsjudu... Vidish', torchat na stene, Slyshish', sbegajut po kryshe, Vot podpolzajut ko mne, Lezut vsjo vyshe i vyshe... Slyshish', smejutsja oni... Bozhe, za chto `eti muki? Masha, spasi, otgoni, Krepche sozhmi moi ruki! Pozdno! Voshli, vorvalis', Stali stenoj mezhdu nami, V golovu tak i vpilis', Koljut jejo lepestkami. Rvetsja vsja grud' ot toski... Bozhe! kuda mne devat'sja? Vsjo vasil'ki, vasil'ki... Kak oni smejut smejat'sja?
