Спи, дитя моё, усни
 (Sung text for setting by A. Arensky)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Спи, дитя моё, усни!
Сладкий сон к себе мани:
В няньки я к тебе взяла
Ветер, солнце и орла.

Улетел орел домой;
Солнце скрылось за горой;
Ветер, после трех ночей,
Мчится к матери своей.

Ветра спрашивает мать:
"Где изволил пропадать?
Али звезды воевал?
Али волны всё гонял?"

"Не гонял я волн морских,
Звезд не трогал золотых;
Я дитя оберегал,
Колыбелочку качал!"
