by Nikolai Porfiryevich Grekov (1810 - 1866)
Pogodi! Dlja čego toropit'sja!
Language: Russian (Русский)
Pogodi! Dlja čego toropit'sja! Ved' i tak žizn' nesetsja streloj! Pogodi! Pogodi! ty uspeeš' prostit'sja, Kak lučami vostok zagoritsja. No doždëmsja l' my noči takoj? Posmotri, posmotri, kak čudesno Ubran zvezdami kupol nebesnyj! Kak mečtatel'no smotrit luna! Kak temno v ėtoj seni drevesnoi, I kakaja vezde tišina! Tol'ko slyšno, kak šepčut berëzy, Da stučit serdce v pylkoj grudi... Vozduch ves' polon zapachom rozy... Milyj drug! Ėto žizn', a ne grëzy! Žizn' letit... pogodi! Žizn' letit... pogodi!
