by Zinaida Nikolayevna Gippius (1869 - 1945)

Drugoj xristianin
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Nikto menya ne pojmyot — 
i ne dolzhen nikto ponyat`. 
Mne dushu stradanie zhzhyot, 
I radost` meshaet stradat`.  

Tyazhely'e slezy' svechej 
i shelest chut` sly'shny'x slov... 
V siyan`i lampadny'x luchej 
ponikshie stebli czvetov,  

rassvet nesvetlogo dnya, — 
vsyo — tajny' poslednej zalog... 
I, tajnu moyu xranya, 
odin ya idu za porog.  

So mnoyu mech — moj oplot, 
ya krepko derzhu rukoyat`... 
Nikto menya ne pojmet — 
i ne dolzhen nikto ponyat`.
