by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)
Velikuyu zimu
Language: Russian (Русский)
Velikuyu zimu YA dolgo zhdala, Kak beluyu sximu Ee prinyala. I v legkie sani Spokojno sazhus`… YA k vam, kitezhane, Do nochi vernus`… Za drevnej stoyankoj Odin perexod. Teper` s kitezhankoj Nikto ne pojdet: Ni brat, ni sosedka, Ni pervy'j zhenix, — Lish` xvojnaya vetka Da solnechny'j stix, Obronenny'j nishhim I podnyaty'j mnoj… V poslednem zhilishhe Menya upokoj.
