by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Zarnica
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak v nebesach, ob"jatych tjažkim snom,
Poroj sverkaet beglaja zarnica,
No ej ne otvečaet dal'nij grom,—

Tak točno inogda v ume moëm
Mel'kajut sny, i obrazy, i lica,
Pogibšie vo t'me dalëkich let, —

No mimolëten ich nepročnyj svet,
Moja duša bezmolvna, kak grobnica,
V nej otzyva na ich prizyvy net.
