by Lev Aleksandrovich Mey (1822 - 1862)

Sumerki
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ottepel'... Pole černeet;
Krovlja na cerkvi obmokla;
Tak vot i veet, i veet -
Pachnet vesnoju: skvoz' stekla.
S každoju novoj ložbinkoj
Vodopol' vsë pribyvaet,
I ogranennoju l'dinkoj
Vešnjaja zvezdočka taet.
Teni v uglach ševel'nulis',
Temnye, sonnye teni,
Vdol' po stenam potjanulis',
Na pol ložatsja ot leni...
Son i menja tak i klonit...
Teni za tenjami - grezy...
Duma v nevedomom tonet...
Na serdce - krupnye slezy.
Och, esli b kryl'ja da kryl'ja,
Esli by dolja da dolja,
Ne bylo b mysli "bessil'ja",
Ne bylo b slova - "nevolja".
