V maje

Vsjo temnej i kudrjavej berezovyj les zelenejet;
Kolokol'chiki landyshej v chashche zelenoj cvetut;
Na rassvete v dolinakh teplom i cheremukhoj vejet,
    Solov'ji do rassveta pojut.

Skoro [Troicyn den']1, skoro pesni, venki i pokosy...
Vsjo cvetet i pojot, molodyje nadezhdy taja...
O, vesennije zori i teplyje majskije rosy!
    O dalekaja junost' moj!
