by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Volna bežit. Volna s volnoju slita
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Volna bežit. Volna s volnoju slita.
Volna s volnoju slita v odnoj mečte.
Pril'nuv k skalam, oni gremjat serdito.
Oni gremjat serdito: «Ne te! Ne te!»

I v gor'kom sne volna volne šepnula.
Volna volne šepnula: «V tebe — mečta.»
I pleščut vnov': «Menja ty obmanula!»
«Menja ty obmanula. I ty — ne ta!»
