by Tat'yana Lvovna Shchepkina-Kupernik (1874 - 1952)

Schast'e
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Prichudlivo smeshalis' svet i teni,
Vdali alleja solncem zalita.
Ishchu ja schast'ja v lepestkakh sireni,
Privychnoju mechtoju zanjata.

Uzorom strannym tenevye pjatna
Menjajutsja na zolotom peske...
Vsja belosnezhna, divno aromatna,
Siren' drozhit v pylajushchej ruke.

A schast'ja net, shepchu ja beznadezhno,
Uzhel' najti jego ne suzhdeno?
I vdrug siren' otbroshena nebrezhno.
Shagi... ty zdes'... o, schast'e! Vot ono!
