by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Florenciya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Umri, Florenciya, Iuda,
Ischezni v sumrak vekovoj!
YA v chas lyubvi tebya zabudu,
V chas smerti budu ne s toboj!
O, Bella, smejsya nad soboyu,
Uzh ne prekrasna bol`she ty'!
Gniloj morshhinoj grobovoyu
Iskazheny' tvoi cherty'!

Xripyat tvoi avtomobili,
Tvoi urodlivy' doma,
Vseevropejskoj zheltoj py'li
Ty' predala sebya sama!

Zvenyat v py'li velosipedy'
Tam, gde svyatoj monax sozhzhen,
Gde Leonardo sumrak vedal,
Beato snilsya sinij son!

Ty' py'shny'x Me'dichej trevozhish`,
Ty' topchesh` lilii svoi,
No voskresit` sebya ne mozhesh`
V py'li torgovoj tolchei!
Gnusavoj messy' ston protyazhny'j
I trupny'j zapax roz v cerkvax -
Ves` gruz toski mnogoe`tazhny'j -
Sgin` v ochistitel`ny'x vekax!
