by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Šipovnik
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Šipovnik alyj,
Šipovnik belyj.
Odin — ustalyj,
I onemelyj,
Drugoj — vljublënnyj,
Lenivo-strastnyj,
Dušistyj, sonnyj,
I krasnyj, krasnyj.

Edva vzdychaja,
I cepeneja,
V dychanii maja
Vljubljajas', mleja,
Oni mečtajut
O nevozmožnom,
I docvetajut
Vo sne trevožnom.

I blizko, blizko
Odin k drugomu,
V kornjach, tak nizko,
Chranjat istomu,
V listach, v veršinach,
V cvetach, povsjudu,
I v snach edinych
Otkrylis' čudu.

O, čudo maja
Neotvratimo!
No vremja, taja,
Prochodit mimo,
No maj ustanet,
I onemeet,
I veter vstanet,
Cvety razveet.

Ich rok — byt' rjadom
I žaždat' slit'sja,
Ich rok — liš' vzgljadom
Soedinit'sja.
O, son ustalyj,
O, vzdoch nesmelyj!
Šipovnik alyj,
Šipovnik belyj.
