by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

Ja poslednij po`et derevni
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja poslednij po`et derevni,
Skromen v pesnjakh doshchatyj most.
Za proshchal'noj stoju obednej
Kadjashchikh listvoj berjoz.

Dogorit zolotistym plamenem
Iz telesnogo voska svecha,
I luny chasy derevjannye
Prokhripjat moj dvenadcatyj chas.

Na tropu golubogo polja
Skoro vyjdet zheleznyj gost',
Zlak ovsjanyj, zareju prolityj,
Soberet jego chernaja gorst'.

Ne zhivye, chuzhije ladoni,
`Etim pesnjam pri vas ne zhit'!
Tol'ko budut kolos'ja-koni
O khozjaine starom tuzhit'.

Budet veter sosat' ikh rzhan'e,
Panikhidnyj spravljaja pljas.
Skoro, skoro chasy derevjannye
Prokhripjat moj dvenadcatyj chas!
