by Semyon Yakovlevich Nadson (1862 - 1887)

Glucho stonet v'juga, ‑ stonet i rydaet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Glucho stonet v'juga, - stonet i rydaet,
I v okno stučit kostljavoju rukoj…
Žgučij strach mne serdce detskoe sžimaet:
«Mama, dorogaja, sjad', pobud' so mnoj!»

I ona pril'nula nežno k izgolov'ju,
Nežno lob moj gladit, v oči mne gljadit,
I pod golos v'jugi laskoj i ljubov'ju,
Grust'ju i zabotoj reč' eë zvučit…

Kak ona prekrasna! V trepetnom sijan'i
Nočnika ona sklonilas' nado mnoj
Točno svetlyj Angel v belom odejan'e, -
Tol'ko lëgkich kryl'ev netu za spinoj!..

Čto-to beskonečno krotkoe sijaet
V beskonečno milych, dorogich čertach,
I gorit v ulybke, i v očach laskaet,
I zvenit, čaruja, v sderžannych rečach…

Tol'ko otčego ž tak grustny ėti glazki?
Otčego drožit i cholodna ruka?
Otčego v slovach starinnoj ėtoj skazki
Slyšitsja takaja pravda i toska?

«Mama, čto s toboj?» No mama zaglušaet
Moj vopros  trevožnyj laskoju svoej…
I tak blizko-blizko nado mnoj sijaet,
I tak čudno – nežen vzor eë očej!..

Detskij um nedolgo mučitsja somnen'em,
Skazka rascvetaet, iskritsja, rastët,
I ja vsej dušoj i vsem voobražen'em
Unesën v tot mir, kuda ona zovët!
