by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Snezhinki
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na detskuju ruku upali snezhinki,
Na malom mizinchike vosem' ikh bylo chislo.
Razlichnuju formu javljali pushinki,
I vse tak mercali vozdushno-svetlo.
Vot krestiki vstali, vot zvjozdy mel'knuli,
Kak mjagok skvozistyj ikh svet.
No detskije pal'chiki chut' shevel'nuli, —
I bol'she ikh net.
