by Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin (1870 - 1953)

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Xolodny'j veter, rezkij i uporny'j,
Kidaet nas, i tyazhelo gresti;
No ne mogu ya vzorov otvesti
Ot burny'x voln, ot ix puchiny' chyornoj.

Oni kipyat, bushuyut i gudyat,
V uxabax ix, mezh zy'bkimi gorami,
Kachayut chajki ostry'mi kry'lami
I s voplyami nad bezdnoyu skol`zyat.

I veter vtorit dikim zavy'van`em
Ix zhalobny'm, no radostny'm stenan`yam,
Potyazhelee vy'biraet val,

Napryagshi grud`, na nyom vzmetaet penu
I b`yot ego o kamennuyu stenu
Pribrezhny'x mrachny'x skal.
