by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

I ja opjat' zatich u nog –
Language: Russian (Русский) 
I ja opjat' zatich u nog –
U nog davno i tajno miloj,
Zanosit v'juga na porog
Požar meteli belokryloj…

No imja tonkoe tvoe
Tverdit' mne divno, bol'no, sladko…
I celovat' tvoj šlejf ukradkoj,
Kogda metel' poet, poet…

V chmel'noj i zloj svoej temnice
Zanočevalo, serdce, ty,
I tichie tvoi resnicy
Smežili snežnye cvety.

Kak budto, na sredine bega,
JA pod metel'ju iznemog,
I predo mnoj voznik iz snega
Cholodnyj, neživoj cvetok…

I s tajnoj grust'ju, s grust'ju nežnoj,
Kak sneg spadaet s lepestka,
Živoe imja Devy Snežnoj
Ešče sletaet s jazyka…
