by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Na kresle otvaljas', gljažu na potolok
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na kresle otvaljas', gljažu na potolok,
Gde, na zador voobražen'ju,
Nad lampoj tichoju podvešennyj kružok
Vertitsja prizračnoju ten'ju.

Zari osennej sled v mercan'i ėtom est':
Nad krovlej, kažetsja, i sadom,
Ne v silach uletet' i ne rešajas' sest',
Grači kružatsja tëmnym stadom…

Net, to ne kryl'ev šum, to koni u kryl'ca!
JA slyšu trepetnye ruki…
Kak blednost' cholodna prekrasnogo lica!
Kak šëpot goresten razluki!..

Molču, poterjannyj, na dal'nij put' gljadja
Iz-za temnejuščego sada, —
I kružitsja eščë, prijuta ne najdja,
Gračej vstrevožennoe stado.
