Leningradites


In the distant troubled war year,
Under the thunder of batteries in the country in sight,
We are standing next to adults
The boys at the walls of Leningrad.

On the desk remained open tetralyl -
Not fallen to them to finish, to read,
When we piled on top of the town
Explosive bombs and hunger.

And we will never forget you,
As our age we have taken the fight.
They were only thirteen,
But they were - of Leningrad in 1970!
