by Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva (1892 - 1941)

O putjakh tvoikh pytat' ne budu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
O putjakh tvoikh pytat' ne budu,
Milaja! — ved' vsjo sbylos'.
Ja byl bos, a ty menja obula
Livnjami volos —
I — sljoz.

Ne sproshu tebja, kakoj cenoju
`Eti kupleny maslá.
Ja byl nag, a ty menja volnoju
Tela — kak stenoju
Obnesla.

Nagotu tvoju perstami tronu
Tishe vod i nizhe trav.
Ja byl prjam, a ty menja naklonu
Nezhnosti nastavila, pripav.

V volosakh svoikh mne jamu vyroj,
Spelenaj menja bez l'na.
— Mironosica! K chemu mne miro?
Ty menja omyla
Kak volna.
