by Aleksey Stepanovich Khomyakov (1804 - 1860)

Spi!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Dnyom naigravshis`, nateshivshis`, k nochi zaby'lsya ty' snom;
Spi, uly'bayas`, malyutka: vesennego utra luchom 
Zhizn` molodaya, igraya, blestit v snoviden`i tvoyom.
Spi! Spi!

Truzhenik, v goresti, v radosti, put` ty' svershaesh` zemnoj;
Utrom otmerenny'j, k vecheru konchen tvoj podvig dnevnoj.
Chto-nibud` nachato, chto-nibud` sdelano, kuplen tvoj otdy'x nochnoj.
Spi!

S svetly'm liczom zasy'paesh` ty', starecz, trudom utomlyon;
Vidno, kak v noch` pogruzhaetsya zhizni zemnoj nebosklon:
Dnya zamogil`nogo pervy'm siyan`em uzh tvoj ozaryaetsya son.
Spi! Spi!
