New Year's gift - a green tree,
On the branches of the snowflake hid a needle.
In the arms of Santa Claus warmed
Sleeping tree. She dreams of a green summer.
Her intoxicating dream of meadows bloom,
Rainy weather and warm swept away,
One ray of sunlight, which warms and shines
And the needle gently caressing breeze.
Perhaps she dreams about snow storms and blizzards,
Yes, the air frosty, cold-elastic,
And the frost on the branches game sparkles.
Here are just a rainy December not dreaming.
On the street slush -
And the holiday is a holiday,
All my soul troubled and gloomy.
To make it more fun and laughter -
Sprinkle a little more to the white snow.
And the tree, of course, the holiday will wake up.
Almost imperceptibly the tip of the swing,
And all the thirty-first glancing at the window,
Nevers eyes, a little surprised.
Snowflakes flying flocks of billions ...
But what is surprising - a riddle is simple:
Snow White and the wet, cold and bright,
From tree fluff - fluff gift!
