by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

Гусляр
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Тёмна ноченька, не спится,
Выйду к речке на лужок.
Распоясала зарница
В тёмных волнах поясок.
На бугре берёза-свечка
В ярких перьях серебра.
Выходи, моё сердечко,
Слушать песни гусляра.
Залюбуюсь, загляжусь ли
На девичью красоту,
А пойду плясать под гусли,
Так сорву твою фату.
Уведу тебя под склоны
В шелкопряные поля.
Ой ли гусли-самозвоны,
Псалмопенья ковыля.

Note: this is the first version.
