The first day of the calendar Poem by Marshak for children

First
September,
First
September!
First
September
The first day
Calendar -

Because in this day
All the girls
And the boys
Cities
And villages
Took bags,
Took books,
Took Breakfast
Under mouse
And ran for the first time
In the class!

It was in Barnaul,
In Leningrad
And in Torzhok,
In Blagoveshchensk
And in Tula,
Don
And on the Oka,

And in the village,
And in the village,
And in the distant village.

It was
On the sea
Shore,
Where the coast
Bent
In the arc,
Where the boys
Georgian
Say,
Where Breakfast
Wear
Sweet grapes.

It was
In Altai,
Between the mountains.
It was
In Valdai,
The lakes.

It was
On The Dnieper,
Among the fields,
Where the school
For trunks
Poplars.

Who had
To live in the world
Eight years,
Those today
Before lunch
House no -

Because in this day
All the girls
And the boys
Cities
And villages

Took bags,
Took books,
Took Breakfast
Under mouse
And ran for the first time
In the class!
