Deva i solnce

Mezh tremja morjami bashnja,
V bashne krasnaja devica
Nizhet zvonkije chervoncy
Na serebrjanyje niti.
Vyshlo vsekh dvenadcat' nitok.
Povjazavshi vse dvenadcat' --
Shest' na grud' i shest' na kosy, --
Vyzyvajet deva solnce:
«[Solnce, vyd'! Ja tozhe vyjdu!
Solnce, gljan'! -- Ja tozhe gljanu!]1
Ot tebja -- luga povjanut,
Ot menja -- serdca posokhnut!»
