by Lev Aleksandrovich Mey (1822 - 1862)

V pole shirokom
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V pole shirokom zhelezom kopy't
Vzry'to zelenoe zhito,
Tam pod plakuchej berezoj lezhit
Molodecz tajno ubity'j!

Molodecz tajno ubity'j lezhit,
Tajno v travu sxoronenny'j,
Ves` on, bednyazhka, kitajkoj pokry't,
Tonkoj kitajkoj chervonnoj!

Vot pod berezu devicza prishla,
Rozoj ona rasczvetala,
S molodcza tixo kitajku snyala,
Strastno ego celovala.

Vot i drugaya devicza prishla,
Ochi siyali zvezdami.
S molodcza tixo kitajku snyala,
Vsya zalilasya slezami.

Tret`ya prishla, i gorel ee vzor,
Molvila: «Spit - ne razbudish`;
Spi, moj golubchik, teper` trex sester
Bol`she lyubit` ty' ne budesh`!
