by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Rycar'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kto ty, letjashchij za chertoj?
— Voitel' buri molodoj.
Zazhgu svechu, prosnjotsja grom.
I slomit tuchu moj izlom.

Moj mech — ogon'. Moj krasnyj kon' —
V neutolimosti pogon'.
Lechu, svechu, — i tok dozhdja
Igrajet, tuchu borozdja.

Moj kruglyj shchit, semi cvetov,
Gorit na chashechkakh cvetov.
V rose — moj oblik molodoj.
Ja rycar' Molnii zlatoj.
