by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Lesnye korally
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zeljonye mshinki
Rosli na sosne.
Izumrudnye zhili pushinki
V lesnom zacharovannom sne.
Sosny byli ogromny,
Mnogozvonno gudel `etot bor.
No korally zeljonye mshinok, mechtatel'no skromny,
Ne slykhali vershinnyj tot khor.
I ne videli mshinki,
Kak lesnye cvety,
Zataivshi rosinki,
Raskryvali trevozhno listy.
Nichego ne khoteli oni, lish' rasti i rasti, umnozhaja
Ostrova iz korallov zeljonykh na seroj smolistoj kore,
Nikomu ne meshaja,
I svetjas' pod luchom, i trikratno svetjas' na zare.
