by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)

Pan
Language: Russian (Русский) 
On spit, on spit,
Velikij Pan!
Idi tixon`ko,
Ne to razbudish`!
Poldnevny'j zhar
I sladkij dux
Pospely'x trav
Umayal boga —
On spit i grezit,
I vidit sny'...

Po temny'm noram
Ushlo zver`e; 
V trave nedvizhno
Lezhit zmeya;
Molchat stada,
I dazhe les,
Pevuchij les,
Utix, umolk...
On spit, on spit,
Velikij Pan!..

Nad nim kruzhit,
Zhuzhzhit, zvenit,
Blestit, sverkaet
I vverx, i vniz
Blestyashhij roj
Zhukov i pchel;
Serebrokry'ly'x.
Golubok staya
Krugami reet
Nad spyashhim bogom;
A vy'she — stroem
Il` ostry'm klinom,
Podobno vojsku,
Cherez vse nebo
Pereletaet
Polk zhuravlej;
Eshhe zhe vy'she,
Na gornom nebe,
V gustoj lazuri,
Nezrimoj strazhi 
Chut` sly'shen golos...
Vse slovno boga
Oberegayut
Glubokij son —
Chudesny'j son —
Kogda pred nim 
Razverzlos` nebo,
On zrit bogov,
Svoix sobratij;
I, kak czvety',
Roi videnij
S uly'bkoj sy'plyut 
K nemu s Olimpa
Bogini-sestry'...

On spit, on spit,
Velikij Pan!
Idi tixon`ko,
Moe ditya,
Ne to prosnetsya...
Il` luchshe syadem
V trave gustoj,
I budem slushat`, —
Kak spit on — slushat`,
Kak dy'shit — slushat`;
K nam tozhe tixo 
Nachnut sletat`
Iz samoj vy'si
Svyaty'x nebes
Takie zh sny',
Kakimi grezit
Velikij Pan, —
Velikij Pan...
