by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Vdali ot Zemli, bespokojnoj i mglistoj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vdali ot Zemli, bespokojnoj i mglistoj,
V predelach bezdonnoj, nemoj čistoty,
JA vystroil zámok vozdušno-lučistyj,
Vozdušno-lučistyj Dvorec Krasoty.

Kak ostrov plavučij nad burnym volnen'em,
Nad večnoj trevogoj i zyb'ju vody,
JA polon v tom zamke nemym upoen'em,
Nemym upoen'em besstrastnoj zvezdy.

So mnoju besedujut Genii Sveta,
Prozračnye tučki so mnoj govorjat,
I zvëzdy rodnye ognjami priveta,
Ognjami priveta gorjat i gorjat.

I vižu ja gory i vižu pustyni,
No čto mne do večnoj ljudskoj suety, —
Mne laskovo svetjat inye svjatyni,
Inye svjatyni v Dvorce Krasoty.
