by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Ласточки пропали
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ласточки пропали,
А вчера зарей
Всё грачи летали
Да, как сеть, мелькали
Вон над той горой. 

С вечера всё спится,
На дворе темно. 
Лист сухой валится,
Ночью ветер злится
Да стучит в окно. 

Лучше б снег да вьюгу
Встретить грудью рад! 
Словно как с испугу
Раскричавшись, к югу
Журавли летят. 

Выйдёшь - поневоле
Тяжело - хоть плачь! 
Смотришь - через поле
Перекати-поле
Прыгает, как мяч.
