by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

Zametaet purga
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zametaet purga
‎Belyj put',
Chočet v mjagkich snegach
‎Potonut'.

Veter rezvyj usnul
‎Na puti;
Ni proechat' v lesu,
‎Ni projti.

Zabežala koljada
‎Na selo,
V ruki belye vzjala
‎Pomelo.

Gej vy, neljudi-ljudi,
‎Narod,
Vychodite s dorogi
‎Vpered!

Ispugalas' purga
‎Na snegach,
Pobežala skorej
‎Na luga.

Veter tože sprosonok
‎Vskočil
Da i šapku s kudrej
‎Uronil.

Utrom voron k berezyn'ke
‎Stuk…
I povesil tu šapku
‎Na suk.
