by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

Ja poslednij poėt derevni
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja poslednij poėt derevni,
Skromen v pesnjach doščatyj most.
Za proščal'noj stoju obednej
Kadjaščich listvoj berëz.

Dogorit zolotistym plamenem
Iz telesnogo voska sveča,
I luny časy derevjannye
Prochripjat moj dvenadcatyj čas.

Na tropu golubogo polja
Skoro vyjdet železnyj gost',
Zlak ovsjanyj, zareju prolityj,
Soberet ego černaja gorst'.

Ne živye, čužie ladoni,
Ėtim pesnjam pri vas ne žit'!
Tol'ko budut kolos'ja-koni
O chozjaine starom tužit'.

Budet veter sosat' ich ržan'e,
Panichidnyj spravljaja pljas.
Skoro, skoro časy derevjannye
Prochripjat moj dvenadcatyj čas!
