by Ivan Savvich Nikitin (1824 - 1861)

Dityati
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne znaesh` ty' toski zhelanij,
Prekrasen mir tvoej vesny',
I svetly', chuzhdy'e stradanij,
Tvoi mladencheskie sny'.

S grozoyu zhizni neznakoma,
Kak ptichka, vechno vesela,
Pod krovleyu rodnogo doma
Ty' raj zemnoj sebe nashla.

Pridyot pora — prol`yosh` ty' slyozy',
By't` mozhet, trud tebya sognyot…
I detstva raduzhny'e gryozy'
Umrut pod xolodom zabot.

Togda, nesya svoj krest tyazhyoly'j,
Ne raz pod bremenem ego
Ty' vspomnish` o vesne vesyoloj
I — ne vorotish` nichego.
