GRANDDAD

Dedicated to Z-n-h
I

Since the father, in the office,
Sasha saw a portrait
It is depicted on the portrait
There was a young general.
"Who is this? - asked Sasha. -
Who? .. ”is your grandfather. -
And the dad turned away
Unsceptfully dumb with his head.
"What do I not see him?"
Dad is not a word in response.
Grandson, standing in front of my grandfather,
Zorko looks at the portrait:
“Dad, why are you sighing?
He died ... alive? Speak! "
- You will grow up, Sasha, you will find out.
"That's it ... you say, look! .."
II

"Do you know grandfather, mother?" -
The son says mother.
- I know, - and Sasha's hand
Mom drags mom to the portrait,
Mom goes against the will.
“Tell me about him,
Mother! He is unkind, or something
That I do not see him?
Well, dear! Well, do it
Grace, say something! "
- No, he is both kind and brave,
Only unhappy. - On the chest
Mother hid her head,
He sighs heavily, trembles -
And sobbed ... and Sasha
Zorko looks at his grandfather:
“What are you, mom, sob,
You don't want to say words! "
- You will grow up, Sasha, you will find out.
Better let's go for a walk ...-
III

The house is big in the house.
Happy, bright face,
Removing the house again,
Mom whisper with her father.
How fun their conversation is!
The son observes, is silent.
- Soon you will see your grandfather! -
Sasha father says ...
Grandpa is only crazy
Sasha, - cannot fall asleep:
"Why isn't he going for a long time? .."
- My friend! Far from him! -
Sasha sighs sadly,
He thinks: "What is the answer!"
He finally arrives
This mysterious grandfather.
IV

Everything, for a long time, waiting
They met the old suddenly ...
He blessed, sobbing
House, and family, and servants,
Dust shook off at the threshold
He solemnly took off his neck
The image of the crucified god
And, baptized, he said:
- I reconciled with everything,
What he suffered in the eyelid! .. -
The son knocked down before his father
His legs washed the old man;
White curls scratched
Grandfather Sashin mother,
Stroked them, kissed them,
Sasha called to kiss.
With the right hand of a mother
Grandfather glowed and the other
Stroked the ruddy Sasha:
- Eska what a handsome! -
Grandpa gaze
Sasha examined - suddenly
Tears of the boy hail
Poured, grandfather's grandson
He rushed: “Grandpa! where are you
Housed-saved for so many years?
Where are your epaulettes
What are you dressed in uniform?
What are you hiding on your leg?
Wounded, or something, hand? .. "
- You will grow up, Sasha, you will find out.
Well, kiss the old man! .. -

Cheerful, perked up
The whole house breathes joy.
Sasha became friends with grandfather,
They always walk together.
Walk on meadows, forests,
Tear the cornflower among the Niv;
Grandfather is ancient years old,
But still vigorous and beautiful,
Grandfather's teeth are intact
Tread, posture is hard,
Curls fluffy and white,
Like silver beard;
Stroyen, tall,
But how the baby looks
Somehow apostolic, it’s just that
It always says ...
VI

Will go ashore sloping
To the Russian Great River -
Frozen Kulik whistles,
Thousands of paws in the sand;
Barku is led by twine,
Chu, Burlakov Voice!
Smooth surface behind the river -
Niva, mowing, forests.
It blows with light coolness
From slow, dormant waters ...
Grandpa kisses the earth,
Cries - and sings quietly ...
"Granddad! What are you dropping
Large tears, like a hail? .. "
- You will grow up, Sasha, you will find out!
You don't be sad - I'm glad ...
VII

I'm glad that I see a picture
Cute eyes from childhood.
Look at this plain-
And love her himself!
Two or three noble estates,
Twenty Lords of the Churches,
One hundred peasant villages
How in the palm of your hand!
A herd is grazing in the forest -
It is a pity that the cattle is small;
The song is sung somewhere-
Sorry - inexpensive bitter!
Murmur: “Give your hand
Poor peasants soon! "
Millennial flour
Sasha, can you hear in her? ..
It is necessary to be healthy
Sheep and their horses,
It is necessary that there are cows
Thicker than Moscow merchants, -
There will be a song in the song
Instead of despondency and torment.
Above
