by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Bozh`ya mater` Utoli moya pechali
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Bozh`ya mater` Utoli moya pechali
Pered grobom shla, svetla, tixa.
A za grobom - v traurnoj vuali
Shla nevesta, provozhaya zhenixa...

By'l on tol`ko literator modny'j,
Tol`ko slov koshhunstvenny'x tvorecz...
No mertvecz - rodnoj dushe narodnoj:
Vsyakij svyato chtit ona konecz.

I navstrechu klanyalis`, krestili
Mnogodumny'j, mnogotrudny'j lob.
A druz`ya i blizkie py'lili
Na ikonu, na nee, na grob...

I s kakoyu beskonechnoj grust`yu
(Ne o nem - bog vest` o kom?)
Prinyala ona slova sochuvstvij
I venok sluchajny'j za venkom...

E`tix fraz izbity'x povtoren`ya,
Nikomu ne nuzhny'e slova -
Vozvela ona v venecz tvoren`ya,
V tajnuyu uly'bku bozhestva...

Slovno zdes`, gde peli i kadili,
Gde i grust` ne mozhet by't` tixa,
Ubralas` ona fatoj ot py'li
I zhdala Inogo Zhenixa...
