by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Pantelej‑celitel'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Pantelej-gosudar' khodit po polju,
I cvetov i travy jemu po pojas,
I vse travy pred nim rasstupajutsja,
I cvety vse jemu poklonjajutsja.
I on znajet ikh sily sokrytye,
Vse blagije i vse jadovitye,
I vsem dobrym on travam, nevrednyim,
Otvechajet poklonom privetnyim,
A kotory rastut vinovatye,
Tem on palkoj grozit sukovatoju.

Po listochku s blagikh sobirajet on,
I meshok imi svoj napolnjajet on,
I na khvoruju bratiju bednuju
Iz nikh zelije varit celebnoje.
   Gosudar' Pantelej!
   Ty i nas pozhalej,
   Svoj chudesnyj jelej
   V nashi rany izlej,

V nashi mnogije rany serdechnye;
Jest' mezh nami dushoju uvechnye,
Jest' i razumom tjazhko boljashchije,
Jest' glukhije, nemye, nezrjashchije,
Opojonnye zlymi otravami,—
Pomogi im svoimi ty travami!

   A jeshchjo, gosudar',—
  Chego ne bylo vstar' —
I takije mezh nas popadajutsja,
Chto lechenijem vsjakim gnushajutsja.
Oni zvona ne terpjat gusljarnogo,
Podavaj im tovara bazarnogo!
Vsjo, chego im ne vzvesit', ne smerjati,
Vsjo, krichat oni, nado pokheriti;
Tol'ko to, govorjat, i dejstvitel'no,
Chto dlja nashego tela chuvstvitel'no;
I prijomy u nikh dubovatye
I uchen'e-to ikh grjaznovatoje,
   I na `etikh ljudej,
   Gosudar' Pantelej,
   Palki ty ne zhalej,
      Sukovatyja!
