by Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin (1870 - 1953)

Metel`
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Noch`yu v polyax, pod napevy' meteli,
Dremlyut, kachayas`, beryozki i eli…
Mesyacz mezh tuchek nad polem siyaet, —
Blednaya ten` nabegaet i taet…
Mnitsya mne noch`yu: mezh bely'x beryoz
Brodit v tumannom siyan`e Moroz.

Noch`yu v izbe, pod napevy' meteli,
Tixo raznositsya skrip koly'beli…
Mesyacza svet v temnote serebritsya —
V myorzly'e styokla po lavkam struitsya…
Mnitsya mne noch`yu: mezh such`ev beryoz
Smotrit v bezmolvny'e izby' Moroz.

Myortvoe pole, doroga stepnaya!
V`yuga tebya zametaet nochnaya,
Spyat tvoi syola pod pesni meteli,
Dremlyut v snegu odinokie eli…
Mnitsya mne noch`yu: ne stepi krugom —
Brodit Moroz na pogoste gluxom…
