by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Favn
Language: Russian (Русский) 
No kto tam, bliz peshhery',
V gustoj trave lezhit?
Na zhertvennik Venery'
S dosadoj on glyadit;
Nagnulas` mezh czvetami
Kosmataya noga;
Nad grustny'mi ochami
Navisli dva roga.

To Favn, ugryumy'j zhitel`
Lesov i gor kruty'x,
Dokuchlivy'j gonitel`
Pastushek molody'x.

Lyubimcza Kupidona
Prekrasnogo Filona
Davno sopernik on...
V priyute sladostrast`ya
On sly'shit vzdoxi schast`ya 
I negi tomny'j ston.

V bezmolvii neschastnom
Stradan`ya chashu p`yot
I v revnosti naprasnoj
Goryuchi slyozy' l`yot.

No vot nochej czaricza
Skatilos` za lesa,
I tixaya dennicza
Rumyanit nebesa;
Zafiry' prosheptali
I favn v dremuchij bor
Bezhit sokry't` pechali
V ushhel`yax dikix gor.
