by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)
Ya, otrok, zazhigayu svechi
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ya, otrok, zazhigayu svechi, Ogon` kadil`ny'j beregu. Ona bez my'sli i bez rechi Na tom smeetsya beregu. Lyublyu vechernee molen`e U beloj cerkvi nad rekoj, Peredzakatnoe selen`e I sumrak mutno-goluboj. Pokorny'j laskovomu vzglyadu, Lyubuyus` tajnoj krasoty', I za cerkovnuyu ogradu Brosayu bely'e czvety'. Padet tumannaya zavesa. Zhenix sojdet iz altarya. I ot vershin zubchaty'x lesa Zabrezhzhit brachnaya zarya.
