by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 - 1822)
Translation by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Toskuet ptichka odinoko
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the English 
Toskuet ptichka odinoko
Sred` chashhi elej i beryoz;
Krugom, kuda ni glyanet oko
Xolodny'j sneg polya zanyos.

Na zimnix vetkax pomertvely'x
Net ni edinogo listka;
Sredi polyan pechal`ny'x, bely'x —
Ni pticz, ni travki, ni czvetka.

I plachet ptichka odinoko,
A vozdux tix, sil`nej moroz,
I ele sly'shno izdalyoka
Roptan`e mel`nichny'x kolyos.
