by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

Мой край, задумчивый и нежный
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Я снова здесь, в семье родной,
Мой край, задумчивый и нежный!
Кудрявый сумрак за горой
Рукою машет белоснежной.

Седины пасмурного дня
Плывут всклокоченные мимо,
И грусть вечерняя меня
Волнует непреодолимо.

Над куполом церковных глав
Тень от зари упала ниже.
О други игрищ и забав,
Уж я вас больше не увижу!

В забвенье канули года,
Вослед и вы ушли куда-то.
И лишь по-прежнему вода
Шумит за мельницей крылатой.

И часто я в вечерней мгле,
Под звон надломленной осоки,
Молюсь дымящейся земле
О невозвратных и далёких.
