by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921), as Александр Александрович Блок

Vojna gorit neukrotimo
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vojna gorit neukrotimo,
No ty zadumajsja na mig, —
I goluboe stanet zrimo,
I v golubom — Pečal'nyj Lik.

Liš' zagljani smirennym okom
V neprechodjaščuju lazur', —
Tam — v tichom, v golubom, širokom —
Lazurnyj dym — ne rokot bur'.

Starik-pastuch stada pokinet,
Lazurnyj dogonjaja dym.
Tjaželyj ščit boec otrinet,
Gonjas' bez ustali za nim.

Vot — ravnye, idut na vole,
Na nich — odnoj mečty narjad,
Ved' tam, v širokom Bož'em pole,
Net ni ščitov, ni bitv, ni stad.
