by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Temneet večer goluboj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Temneet večer goluboj,
Mercajut rozovye teni.
Moj drug, skorej, pojdëm s toboj
Na te zavetnye stupeni.

Nad nami budet žëltyj krest,
Cvetnye okna cerkvi tëmnoj.
Zažžëtsja nebo, i okrest
Povsjudu budet blesk zaëmnyj.

Bagrjano-ognennyj zakat
Vo mgle osvetit lica naši.
S mogil k nam rozy obratjat
Svoi raskryvšiesja čaši.

Dlja nas nadgrobnye kresty,
V lučach poslednego sijan'ja,
Vosprimut čary krasoty,
Kak znak nemogo obeščan'ja.

I vse tona, i vse cveta,
Kakie tol'ko v nebe slity,
Kak v raj zabytye vrata,
Nam budut v ėtot mig otkryty.

I smolknut naši golosa,
I my, drug v druge propadaja,
Pogasnem, kak v cvetke rosa,
Kak v tučke iskra zolotaja.
