by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Na čerdake
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Čto na svete vyše
Svetlych čerdakov?
Vižu truby, kryši
Dal'nich kabakov.

Put' tuda zakazan,
I na čto — teper'?
Vot — ja s nej liš' svjazan…
Vot — zakryta dver'…

A ona ne slyšit —
Slyšit — ne gljadit,
Tichaja — ne dyšit,
Belaja — molčit…

Už ne prosit kušat'…
Veter sviščet v ščel'.
Kak mne ljubo slušat'
V'južnuju svirel'!

Veter, snežnyj sever,
Davnij drug ty mne!
Podari ty veer
Molodoj žene!

Podari ej plat'e
Beloe, kak ty!
Nanesi v krovat' ej
Snežnye cvety!

Ty daril mne gore,
Tuči, da snega…
Podari ej zori,
Busy, žemčuga!

Čtob byla narjadna
I, kak sneg, bela!
Čtob gljadel ja žadno
Iz togo ugla!..

Slašče poj ty, v'juga,
V snežnuju trubu,
Čtob spala podruga
V ledjanom grobu!

Čtob ona ne vstala,
Ne skripi, doska…
Čtob ne ispugala
Milogo družka!
