Poem; "The Magpie"?
Dec. 18th, 2008 09:32 pmДобрый вечер всем,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but better give it a shot than keep wondering, I figure. I've been trying to find a poem, which I thought was by Pushkin, but as I couldn't find anything like it in any collected works (in Russian), I'm thinking it might have been another author. If I recall corretly the poem was called "Сорока" and the first few lines went something like "The magpie chatters (or jumps?) at the gate", being a predicament of visitors. Any ideas?
Also, is it so that this weather phenomenon is called "the sun wearing mittens" in Russian?

Спасибо. :)
