тоже from-long-ago

ты ли девушка моя
с длинною косой
на лужайке у пруда
в полдень золотой
грелась, ножки подобрав
и глядела вглубь
где у илистого дна
словно круглый рубь
молодой карась сверкал
лунной чушуей
и играя забавлял
тихий разум твой

Well you're the one who should know, what with stealing bits of it for "your" poem!

The lyrics to the English version were by Gene Raskin, but it seems it is acknowledged as a Russian traditional...

well, i was making fun of you, it's not jewish. but if call stealing one word (long) stealing, then call me a stealer by all means. you see, i was telling about a long braid in my poem, not a long ROAD!

Ah, not Jewish.

And apologies for hi-jacking the thread. It possibly has got a bit off-topic...
