Chto pojut chasy‑kuznechik

Language: Russian

Chto pojut chasy-kuznechik,
Likhoradka shelestit
I shurshit sukhaja pechka —
`Eto krasnyj shjolk gorit.

Chto zubami myshi tochat
Zhizni tonen'koe dno, —
`Eto lastochka i dochka
Otvjazala moj chelnok,

Chto na kryshe dozhd' bormochet —
`Eto chjornyj shjolk gorit,
No cherjomukha uslyshit
I na dne morskom prostit.

Potomu chto smert' nevinna,
I nichem nel'zja pomoch',
Chto v gorjachke solov'inoj
Serdce teploe eshchjo.
