Babochka

Language: Russian

Zheltokrylaja babochka, s detstva znakomaja,
Pokachalas' po vetru i sela na mak.
Khobotkom govorit: ,,Posmotrite, zdes' doma ja!``
,,Vam privetstvennyj kryl'jami delaju znak.``

Pokivala, slozhila dva stjaga uzornyje,
I zabylas' v dremote pod zharkim luchom.
O, kak tjagostny nochi ljudskije i chjornyje.
O, kak bol'no dushe, rassechennoj mechom!
