by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Svetoch
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Lovecz, vse dni otdavshij lesu,
YA napravlyal po nyom stopy';
Moj glaz privy'k k ego navesu
I noch`yu razlichal tropy'.

Kogda zhe vdrug iz tuchi mglistoj
Sosnu uzhalil yarkij zmej,
YA sam zateplil suk smolisty'j
U zoloty'x eyo ognej.

Gorel moj fakel velichavo,
Tyanulis` teni predo mnoj,
No, obezhav menya lukavo,
Oni smy'kalis` za spinoj.

Pestreet mgla, bluzhdayut ochi,
Krovavy'j prizrak v nix glyadit,
I tem uzhasnej sumrak nochi,
Chem yarche svetoch moj gorit.
