Krassovitsky. Once a dog came near a church

Once a dog came near a church
From this world to vanish,
Doing his best to cheer up
But he couldn't manage.

'Twas a pleasant summer day.
Shadows lay across him,
Singing floated in the air
And the flowers blossomed.


К церкви Божией пришла
Помирать собака.
У ворот она легла,
На краю, бедняга.

Был погожий летний день.
В церкви громко пели.
Над собакой была тень
И цветы желтели.
