by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Paxnet polem vozdux chisty'j
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Paxnet polem vozdux chisty'j... 
V bezmyatezhnoj tishine
Pesni ptichki golosistoj
Razdayutsya v vy'shine. 

Est` u nej svoya podruga,
Est` u nej priyut nochnoj,
Sred` nekoshenogo luga,
Pod rosistoyu travoj. 

V nebesax, no ne dlya neba,
Vsya polna zhivy'x zabot,
Dlya zemli, ne radi xleba,
Ptichka veselo poyot. 

Vnemlya ej, nevol`no sty'dno
I dosadno, chto poroj
Serdczu gordomu zavidna
Dolya ptichki polevoj!
