by Igor Vasil'yevich Lotaryov (1887 - 1941), as Igor Severyanin

Kapel`
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vy' ponimaete, chto znachit
Prosolnechennaya kapel`? —
Zima, smeyas`, ot schast`ya plachet,
Vesny' kachaya koly'bel`.
O, zimu smert` ne ozadachit:
Rastayat` — plan ee i cel`…

…V glazax moix luchitsya vlaga —
Kapel` zimy' dushi moej.
Ax, v nej otchayan`ya otvaga:
Poznat` vostorg poslednix dnej.
Toropit smert` pri spuske flaga,
I ya… ya pomogayu ej.
