by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Favn
Language: Russian (Русский) 
No kto tam, bliz peščery,
V gustoj trave ležit?
Na žertvennik Venery
S dosadoj on gljadit;
Nagnulas' mež cvetami
Kosmataja noga;
Nad grustnymi očami
Navisli dva roga.

To Favn, ugrjumyj žitel'
Lesov i gor krutych,
Dokučlivyj gonitel'
Pastušek molodych.

Ljubimca Kupidona
Prekrasnogo Filona
Davno sopernik on...
V prijute sladostrast'ja
On slyšit vzdochi sčast'ja 
I negi tomnyj ston.

V bezmolvii nesčastnom
Stradan'ja čašu p'ët
I v revnosti naprasnoj
Gorjuči slëzy l'ët.

No vot nočej carica
Skatilos' za lesa,
I tichaja dennica
Rumjanit nebesa;
Zafiry prošeptali
I favn v dremučij bor
Bežit sokryt' pečali
V uščel'jach dikich gor.
