Zmeja, čto po skalam vlečëš' svoi izvivy
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zmeja, čto po skalam vlečëš' svoi izvivy I meždu trav skol'ziš', obmanyvaja vzor, Pomedli, daj spisat' češujnyj tvoj uzor: Choču dlja devy ja cholodnoj i krasivoj Sčekanit' po tebe pričudlivyj ubor. Puskaj, kogda ona, skol'zja zarëj večernej, K soperniku tajkom sčastlivomu pojdët, Puskaj blestit, kak ty, i v zolote i v černi, I pëstryj tvoj v trave napominaet chod!
