Ptichka

Language: Russian

Pakhnet polem vozdukh chistyj... 
V bezmjatezhnoj tishine
Pesni ptichki golosistoj
Razdajutsja v vyshine. 

Jest' u nej svoja podruga,
Jest' u nej prijut nochnoj,
Sred' nekoshenogo luga,
Pod rosistoju travoj. 

V nebesakh, no ne dlja neba,
Vsja polna zhivykh zabot,
Dlja zemli, ne radi khleba,
Ptichka veselo pojot. 

Vnemlja jej, nevol'no stydno
I dosadno, chto poroj
Serdcu gordomu zavidna
Dolja ptichki polevoj!
