by Alexei Vasilyevich Timofeyev (1812 - 1883), as Алексей Васильевич Тимофеев

Svad`ba
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Nas venchali ne v cerkvi,
Ne v venczax, ne s svechami;
Nam ne peli ni gimnov, 
Ni obryadov venchal`ny'x!

Venchala nas polnoch`
Sred` mrachnogo bora;
Svidetelem by'li
Tumannoe nebo
Da tuskly'e zvezdy';
Venchal`ny'e pesni
Propel bujny'j veter
Da voron zloveshhij;
Na strazhe stoyali
Utesy' da bezdny',
Postel` postilali
Lyubov` da svoboda!..

My' ne zvali na prazdnik
Ni druzej, ni znakomy'x;
Posetili nas gosti
Po svoej dobroj vole!

Vsyu noch` bushevali
Groza i nenast`e;
Vsyu noch` pirovali
Zemlya s nebesami.
Gostej ugoshhali
Bagrovy'e tuchi.
Lesa i dubravy' 
Napilis` dop`yana,
Stoletnie duby'
S poxmel`ya svalilis`;
Groza veselilas`
Do pozdnego utra.

Razbudil nas ne svekor,
Ne svekrov`, ne nevestka,
Ne nevolyushka zlaya;
Razbudilo nas utro!

Vostok zaalelsya 
Sty'dlivy'm rumyancem;
Zemlya otdy'xala
Ot bujnogo pira;
Veseloe solnce
Igralo s rosoyu;
Polya razryadilis` 
V voskresnoe plat`e;
Lesa zashumeli 
Zazdravnoyu rech`yu;
Priroda v vostorge,
Vzdoxnuv, uly'bnulas`…
