by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Na perekrestke
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na perekrestke,
Gde dal' postavila,
V pečal'nom vesel'i vstrečaju vesnu.

Na zemle ešče žestkoj
Probivaetsja pervaja travka.
I v kruževe berezki —
Daleko — gluboko —
Lilovye skaty ovraga.

Ona vzmanila,
Zemlja pustynnaja!

Na zapade, rdeja ot choloda,
Solnce — kak mednyj šlem voina,
Obraščennogo likom pečal'nym
K inym gorizontam,
K inym vremenam…

I šišak — zolotoe oblako —
Tjanet vvys' belymi per'jami
Nad derzkoj krasoju
Lochmotij večernich moich!

I žalkie kryl'ja moi —
Kryl'ja voron'ego pugala —
Plamenejut, kak solnečnyj šlem,
Otbleskom večera…
Otbleskom sčastija…

I kresty — i dalekie okna —
I veršiny zubčatogo lesa —
Vsë dyšit lenivym
I belym razmerom
Vesny.
