by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Ya mechtoyu lovil uxodyashhie teni
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ya mechtoyu lovil uxodyashhie teni,
Uxodyashhie teni pogasavshego dnya,
YA na bashnyu vsxodil, i drozhali stupeni,
I drozhali stupeni pod nogoj u menya.

I chem vy'she ya shyol, tem yasnej risovalis`,
Tem yasnej risovalis` ochertan`ya vdali,
I kakie-to zvuki vdali razdavalis`,
Vkrug menya razdavalis` ot Nebes i Zemli.

Chem ya vy'she vsxodil, tem svetlee sverkali,
Tem svetlee sverkali vy'si dremlyushhix gor,
I siyan`em proshhal`ny'm kak budto laskali,
Slovno nezhno laskali otumanenny'j vzor.

I vnizu podo mnoyu uzh noch` nastupila,
Uzhe noch` nastupila dlya usnuvshej zemli,
Dlya menya zhe blistalo dnevnoe svetilo,
Ognevoe svetilo dogoralo vdali.

YA uznal, kak lovit` uxodyashhie teni,
Uxodyashhie teni potusknevshego dnya,
I vsyo vy'she ya shyol, i drozhali stupeni,
I drozhali stupeni pod nogoj u menya.
