by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893)

Landysh
Language: Russian (Русский) 
O landysh, otchego ty radujesh' tak vzory?
Drugije jest' cvety, roskoshnej i pyshnej,
I jarche kraski ikh, i veselej uzory,
No prelesti v nikh net tainstvennoj tvojej.

V chem tajna `etikh char? Chto ty dushe veshchajesh'?
Chem manish' ty k sebe i serdce veselish'? 
Il' radostej bylykh ty prizrak voskreshajesh'?
Ili blazhenstvo mne grjadushcheje sulish'?

Ne znaju, no menja tvojo blagoukhan'e,
Kak vinnaja struja, laskajet i manit;
Kak muzyka, ono stesnjajet mne dykhan'e
I, kak ogon' ljubvi, pitajet zhar lanit.
