by Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin (1870 - 1953)

Na prude
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Yasny'm utrom na tixom prude
‎Rezvo lastochki reyut krugom,
Opuskayutsya k samoj vode,
‎Chut` kasayutsya vlagi kry'lom.

Na letu oni zvonko poyut,
‎A vokrug zeleneyut luga,
I stoit, slovno zerkalo, prud,
‎Otrazhaya svoi berega.

I, kak v zerkale, mezh trostnikov,
‎S beregov oprokinulsya les,
I uxodit uzor oblakov
‎V glubinu otrazhyonny'x nebes.

Oblaka tam nezhnej i belej,
‎Glubina — beskonechna, svetla…
I donositsya merno s polej
‎Nad vodoj tixij zvon iz sela.
