«Ох! - вздыхал старичок бородатый -
Ох, с моей бородой жить несладко!
Две совы, чиж и стриж,
Три ужа, ёж и мышь -
В ней опять свили гнёзда украдкой!»
Оригинал:
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared!--
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!"
