by Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin (1870 - 1953)

Metel'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Noch'ju v poljakh, pod napevy meteli,
Dremljut, kachajas', berjozki i jeli…
Mesjac mezh tuchek nad polem sijajet, —
Blednaja ten' nabegajet i tajet…
Mnitsja mne noch'ju: mezh belykh berjoz
Brodit v tumannom sijan'e Moroz.

Noch'ju v izbe, pod napevy meteli,
Tikho raznositsja skrip kolybeli…
Mesjaca svet v temnote serebritsja —
V mjorzlye stjokla po lavkam struitsja…
Mnitsja mne noch'ju: mezh such'ev berjoz
Smotrit v bezmolvnye izby Moroz.

Mjortvoje pole, doroga stepnaja!
V'juga tebja zametajet nochnaja,
Spjat tvoi sjola pod pesni meteli,
Dremljut v snegu odinokije jeli…
Mnitsja mne noch'ju: ne stepi krugom —
Brodit Moroz na pogoste glukhom…
