Deva
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kak mila eyo golovka V belom oblake chalmy'! Kak pristalo ej razdum`e V tomny'j chas vechernej t`my'! Kak roskoshno aloj tkan`yu Obrisovan gibkij stan! Skazhesh`: rozami odeta, Skazhesh`: gost` volshebny'x stran. A glaza - zhivy'e zvyozdy' - Chto za nega i krasa: V nix skvoz` vlagu bry'zzhut iskry', Skvoz` ogon` blestit rosa. E`to guriya proroka, Predveshhayushhaya raj; O gyaur! Glyadi na devu I zhelaniem sgoraj!
