by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Noč'ju
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Stoit na nebe mesjac, čut' živoj,
Sred' oblakov strujaščichsja i melkich,
I u dvorca ugrjumyj časovoj
Gljadit, serdjas', na bašennye strelki.

Idet domoj nevernaja žena,
Ee lico zadumčivo i strogo,
A vernuju v tugich ob"jat'jach sna
Sžigaet negasimaja trevoga.

Čto mne do nich? Sem' dnej tomu nazad,
Vzdochnuvši, ja prosti skazala miru,
No dušno tam, i ja probralas' v sad
Vzgljanut' na zvezdy i potrogat' liru.
