by Osip Emil'evich Mandelstam (1891 - 1938)

Kak na Kame‑reke glazu tyomno, kogda
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak na Kame-reke glazu tyomno, kogda
Na dubovy'x kolenyax stoyat goroda.

V pautinu ryadyas`, boroda k borode,
Zhguchij el`nik bezhit, molodeya, v vode.

Upiralas` voda v sto chety're vesla —
Vverx i vniz na Kazan` i na Cherdy'n` nesla.

Tak ya ply'l po reke s zanaveskoj v okne,
S zanaveskoj v okne, s golovoyu v ogne.

A so mnoyu zhena pyat` nochej ne spala,
Pyat` nochej ne spala, trex konvojny'x vezla.
