by Ivan Zakharovich Surikov (1841 - 1880)

Verba
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Khodit veter, khodit bujnyj,
Po polju guljajet;
Na kraju dorogi verbu
Tonkuju lomajet.

Gnetsja, gnetsja sirotinka, -
Net dlja nej podpory;
Vjudu pole - tochno more,
Ne okinut' vzory.

Solnce zhzhet jee luchami,
Dozhdik polivajet;
Bujnyj veter s goremyki
List'ja obryvajet.

Gnetsja, gnetsja sirotinka, -
Net dlja nej zashchity;
Vsjudu pole - tochno more,
Kovylem pokryto.

Kto zhe, kto zhe sirotinku
V pole, na prostore -
Posadil zdes', pri doroge,
Na bedu, na gore?

Gnetsja, gnetsja sirotinka, -
Net dlja nej priveta;
Vsjudu pole - tochno more,
More bez otveta.

Tak i ty, moja sirotka,
Kak ta verba v pole,
Vyrastajesh' bez priveta,
V goremychnoj dole.
