by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Okno
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Gde mir, odnoj mechte poslushny'j?
Mne nastoyashhij opustel.
Na vse v zirayu ravnodushno,
dy'shat` uny'n`em moj udel.

Naprasno letneyu poroyu
lyubovnik roshhicz i lugov
koly'shit rozoj polevoyu,
letya s tenisty'x beregov.

Naprasno pozdnyaya zarnicza
merczaet v temnote nochnoj,
i v zy'bkix oblakax dennicza
razlita plamennoj rekoj.

Il` den` bagryany'j vechereet
i tixo tusknet neba svod,
i klyon na mesyace beleet,
sklonyas` na bereg sinix vod.

Vchera vechernej temnotoyu,
kogda pusty'chnaya luna
tekla tumannoyu stezeyu,
ya videl: deva u okna.

Odna zadumchivo sidela,
dy'shala v tajnom straxe grud`,
ona s volneniem glyadela,
na tyomny'j pod xolmami put`.

,,Ya zdes``` shepnuli toroplivo,
i deva trepetnoj rukoj
okno otkry'la boyazlivo.
Odelsya mesyacz temnotoj.

,,Schastlivecz`` molvil ya s toskoyu,
,,tebya vesel`e zhdyot odno.
Kogda zh vecherneyu poroyu
i mne otkroetsya okno?``
