by Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva (1892 - 1941)

Moi stixi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Moim stixam, napisanny'm tak rano,
Chto i ne znala ya, chto ya -- poe`t,
Sorvavshimsya, kak bry'zgi iz fontana, 
Kak iskry' iz raket, 

Vorvavshimsya, kak malen`kie cherti,
V svyatilishhe, gde son i fimiam,
Moim stixam o yunosti i smerti,
- Nechitanny'm stixam! --

Razbrosanny'm v py'li po magazinam
(Gde ix nikto ne bral i ne beryot!) 
Moim stixam, kak dragocenny'm vinam,
Nastanet svoj cheryod!
