by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

Matushka v kupal`niczu po lesu xodila
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Matushka v kupal`niczu po lesu xodila,
[Bosaya s podty'kami po]1 rose brodila.

Travy' vorozhbiny'e nogi ej kololi,
Plakala rodimaya v kupy'ryax ot boli.

Ne doznamo pecheni sudorga sxvatila,
Oxnula kormilicza, tut i porodila.

Rodilsya ya s pesnyami v travnom odeyale.
Zori menya veshnie v radugu svivali.

Vy'ros ya do zrelosti, vnuk kupal`skoj nochi,
Sutemen` koldovnaya schast`e mne prorochit.

Tol`ko ne po sovesti schast`e nagotove,
Vy'birayu udal`yu i glaza i brovi.

Kak snezhinka belaya, v prosini ya tayu
Da k sud`be-razluchnice sled svoj zametayu.
