by Boris Leonidovich Pasternak (1890 - 1960)

Problesk sveta
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Čut' v rasčistivšiesja proryvy
Solnca luč ulybnëtsja zemle,
List'ja ivy sred' dymki doždlivoj
Vspychnut živopis'ju na stekle.

JA uvižu za zelen'ju mokloj
Mirozdan'ja  tajnik iznutri,
Kak v cvetnye cerkovnye stëkla
Smotrjat sveči, svjatye, cari.

Iz glubin sokrovennych prirody
Razol'ëtsja potok golosov.
JA uslyšu letjaščij pod svody
Gul i plesk diskantov i basov.

O živaja zagadka vselennoj,
JA velikuju službu tvoju,
Potrjasënnyj i s drož'ju svjaščennoj,
Sam ne svoj, ves' v slezach otstoju.
