by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Iva
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  CHI
Sjadem zdes', u `etoj ivy,
Chto za chudnye izvivy
Na kore vokrug dupla!
A pod ivoj kak krasivy
Zolotye perelivy
Struj drozhashchego stekla! 

Vetvi sochnye dugoju
Peregnulis' nad vodoju,
Kak zelenyj vodopad;
Kak zhivye, kak igloju,
Budto sporja mezh soboju,
List'ja vodu borozdjat.

V `etom zerkale pod ivoj
Ulovil moj glaz revnivyj
Serdcu milye cherty…
Mjagche vzor tvoj gordelivyj…
Ja drozhu, gljadja, schastlivyj,
Kak v vode drozhish' i ty.
