Ona, kak rusalka
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ona, kak rusalka, vozdušna i stranno bledna, V glazach u neë, uskol'zaja, igraet volna. V zelënych glazach u neë glubina — cholodna. Pridi, — i ona obojmët, zalaskaet tebja, Sebja ne žaleja, terzaja, byt' možet, gubja, No vsë že ona poceluet tebja ne ljubja. I vmig otvernëtsja, i budet dušoju vdali, I budet molčat' pod Lunoj v zolotistoj pyli, Smotrja ravnodušno, kak tonut vdali — korabli.
