by Aleksey Vasil'yevich Kol'tsov (1808 - 1842)

Dom lesnika
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V temnom lese, za rekoj,
Stoit domik nebol`shoj,
S dvumya svetly'mi oknami,
S raspashny'mi vorotami.

Pod zamkom te vorota,
I kalitka zaperta -
Chtob ne vshel tuda rogaty'j,
Leshij strashny'j i kosmaty'j;

Chtob ne vshel tuda upy'r`,
Ni proezzhij bogaty'r`.
Kto zh zhivet tut odinoko,
Ot zhil`ya krugom daleko?

Ry'bolov li nebogaty'j?
Il` razbojnik borodaty'j
V nem spasaetsya mol`boj,
S sundukami i kaznoj?

Zhivet v dome s davnix por -
Karaulit czarskij bor -
Lesnoj starosta, s zhenoyu,
S tret`ej dochkoj molodoyu.

I dlya nej starik sedoj
Zamy'kaet domik svoj,-
Chtoby' v kamenny' palaty'
Ne uvez kupecz bogaty'j;

Chtob boyarin okruzhnoj
Ne pril`nul by' k molodoj
Bezotvyaznoj povilikoj,-
Chtob ne by't` ej goremy'koj.
