by Lev Aleksandrovich Mey (1822 - 1862)

V pole shirokom
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V pole shirokom zhelezom kopyt
Vzryto zelenoje zhito,
Tam pod plakuchej berezoj lezhit
Molodec tajno ubityj!

Molodec tajno ubityj lezhit,
Tajno v travu skhoronennyj,
Ves' on, bednjazhka, kitajkoj pokryt,
Tonkoj kitajkoj chervonnoj!

Vot pod berezu devica prishla,
Rozoj ona rascvetala,
S molodca tikho kitajku snjala,
Strastno jego celovala.

Vot i drugaja devica prishla,
Ochi sijali zvezdami.
S molodca tikho kitajku snjala,
Vsja zalilasja slezami.

Tret'ja prishla, i gorel jee vzor,
Molvila: «Spit - ne razbudish';
Spi, moj golubchik, teper' trekh sester
Bol'she ljubit' ty ne budesh'!
