by Boris Leonidovich Pasternak (1890 - 1960)

Roslyj strelok, ostorožnyj ochotnik
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Roslyj strelok, ostorožnyj ochotnik,
Prizrak s ruž'em na razlive duši!
Ne dobiraj menja sotym do sotni,
Čuvstvu na korm po častjam ne kroši.

Daj mne podnjat'sja nad smert'ju pozornoj.
S noči oden' menja v tal'nik i led.
Utrom spugni s močežiny ozernoj.
Cel'sja, vsë končeno! Bej menja vlët.

Za vysotu ž ėtoj zvonkoj razluki,
O, prenebregnutye moi,
Blagodarju i celuju vas, ruki
Rodiny, robosti, družby, sem'i.
