by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Noch'ju
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Stoit na nebe mesjac, chut' zhivoj,
Sred' oblakov strujashchikhsja i melkikh,
I u dvorca ugrjumyj chasovoj
Gljadit, serdjas', na bashennye strelki.

Idet domoj nevernaja zhena,
Jee lico zadumchivo i strogo,
A vernuju v tugikh ob"jat'jakh sna
Szhigajet negasimaja trevoga.

Chto mne do nikh? Sem' dnej tomu nazad,
Vzdokhnuvshi, ja prosti skazala miru,
No dushno tam, i ja probralas' v sad
Vzgljanut' na zvezdy i potrogat' liru.
