by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)

Spi, ditja moë, usni!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Spi, ditja moë, usni!
Sladkij son k sebe mani:
V njan'ki ja k tebe vzjala
Veter, solnce i orla.

Uletel orel domoj;
Solnce skrylos' za goroj;
Veter, posle trech nočej,
Mčitsja k materi svoej.

Vetra sprašivaet mat':
"Gde izvolil propadat'?
Ali zvezdy voeval?
Ali volny vsë gonjal?"

"Ne gonjal ja voln morskich,
Zvezd ne trogal zolotych;
JA ditja oberegal,
Kolybeločku kačal!"
