by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Kosnoyazy'chno slavivshij menya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kosnoyazy'chno slavivshij menya
Eshhe toptalsya na krayu e`strady'.
Ot dy'ma sizogo i tusklogo ognya
My' vse ujti, konechno, by'li rady'.

No v putany'x slovax vopros zazhzhen,
Zachem ne stala ya zvezdoj lyubovnoj,
I sty'dnoj bol`yu by'l preobrazhen
Nad nami lik zhestokij i beskrovny'j.

Lyubi menya, pripominaj i plach`!
Vse plachushhie ne ravny' l` pred Bogom?
Proshhaj, proshhaj! menya vedet palach
Po goluby'm predutrennim dorogam.
