Октябрь уж наступил -
уж роща отряхает
последние листы
с нагих своих ветвей;
дохнул осенный хлад -
дорога промерзает.
Журча ещё бежит
за мельницей ручей,
но пруд уже застыл;
сосед мой поспешает
в отъезжие поля
с охотою своей,
и страждут озими
от бешеной забавы,
и будит лай собак
уснувшие дубравы.

October has come;
the groves are shaking off
The last remaining leaves
from their naked branches.
There is a cold nip in the air;
the Autumn road is frozen.
Only the bubbling brook
still flows past the mill,
But a pond is covered with ice...
