Cvetok
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na Daurskich stepjach est' čudesnyj cvetok,
On ne krasen listkom, ne dušist lepestkom,
Blednyj, vjalyj cvetok, on stoit odinok.

I verbljud, i koza proč' begut ot nego,
Ni pčela, ni osa ne p'jut medu ego,
Blednyj, vjalyj cvetok, on stoit odinok.
No čudesen cvetok - jadovit ego sok.

O! Ne prjač'sja v travu, ja tebja ne sorvu,
Beregu ja tebja dlja zavetnogo dnja.
Kogda beluju grud' porazit, razorvet,
Kak steklo, razob'et bezotradnaja grust',

Il' blaženstvo moe kto otnimet, voz'met,
Togda v gore nemom i bez slez na glazach
JA pridu za toboj potaennoj tropoj.
Ty razlejsja ognem v bednom tele moem,
Ty sožgi ego v prach, moj cvetok dorogoj!
