by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Ty' rastochitel`na na mily'e slova
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty' rastochitel`na na mily'e slova,
A v serdce mne ne shlyosh` otradnogo priveta
I vtajne dumaesh`: prichudliva, cherstva
Dusha surovaya poe`ta.

YA tozhe zhdu; ya zhdu, nel`zya li prevozmoch`
Tvoej xolodnosti, podmetit` mig uchast`ya,
Chtoby' v tvoix glazax, zagadochny'x, kak noch`,
Zatrepetali zvyozdy' schast`ya.

YA zhdu, ya zhazhdu ix; mechtatelyu v nochi
Siyan`ya ne vstrechat` py'shnee i prelestnej,
I znayu — nizojdut ix yarkie luchi
Ko mne i trepetom, i pesnej.
