Birch Tree берёза

Белая береза

Под моим окном

Принакрылась снегом,

Точно серебром.

На пушистых ветках

Снежною каймой

Распустились кисти

Белой бахромой.

И стоит береза

В сонной тишине,

И горят снежинки

В золотом огне.

А заря, лениво

Обходя кругом,

Обсыпает ветки

Новым серебром.

Direct translation

BIRCH TREE

White birch

Under my window

Covered in snow

Similarly, silver.

On the fluffy branches

Snow Border

Paint brushes

White fringe.

And there is a birch

In sleepy silence

And the snowflakes are burning

In the golden fire.

And the dawn is lazy

Circling around

Sprinkle branches

New silver.
