by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Khoroni, khoroni menja, veter!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Khoroni, khoroni menja, veter!
Rodnye moi ne prishli,
Nado mnoju bluzhdajushchij vecher
I dykhan'e tikhoj zemli.

Ja byla, kak i ty, svobodnoj,
No ja slishkom khotela zhit'.
Vidish', veter, moj trup kholodnyj,
I nekomu ruki slozhit'.

Zakroj `etu chernuju ranu
Pokrovom vechernej t'my
I veli golubomu tumanu
Nado mnoju chitat' psalmy.

Chtoby mne legko, odinokoj,
Otojti k poslednemu snu,
Proshumi vysokoj osokoj
Pro vesnu, pro moju vesnu.
