Kolyskova

Splyat malenki zovtenyata,
Splyat divchatka i hlop’yata,
V temryavi dytyachyi spyt sadok,
I pryhodyt v sny korotki,
Kolorovi i solodki
Lahidnyi usmihnenyi didok.
Vin u zmorshkah shchulyt ochi,
I boridkoyu loskoche:
– Spy, moye vkolysane dytya!
Nizno dyhaye u vuha,
I dytya shchaslyvo sluha
Ridnoho, kohanoho vozdya.

Ty koznu nich, pryhod do kas, Illich,
Do nashoyi kazkovoyi krayiny! Pohomony –
I hai rozevi darunkom tvoyim budut
Dlya dytyny!..
Dlya koznoyi radyanskoyi dytyny...

U holivku lysuvatu, u boridku ruduvatu
Radisno vdyvlyayetsya hlopcha
I z’yavlyayetsya spokusa
Vdyachno smyknuty za vusa
Myloho tatusya Illicha.
Chto na sviti naimudrishyi!
Ty, yedynyi, nairidnishyi! –
Strymaty i u sni ne mozna sliz...
Slovo tvoye mudre snytsya:
– Vchytsya, vchytsya, i shche raz vchytsya! –
Shchob pobuduvat socializm!

Splyat malyata-doshkolyata...
Zavtra v nyh Zovtneve svyato –
Den, koly skinchylas temna nich.
A tomu – nehai yim snytsya,
I nikoly ne skinchytsya
Kazochka, shcho vyhadav Illich.
Splyat donky i splyat synochky...
Tepli, radisni strumochky
Vybihly z-pid koznoho dytya...
Dity vyrostut velyki,
A strumky zillyutsya v riky,
I potechut u svitle maibuttya...
