by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Фонтан
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE
Смотри, как облаком живым
Фонтан сияющий клубится,
Как пламенеет, как дробится
Его на солнце влажный дым.

Лучом поднявшись к небу, он
Коснулся высоты заветной -
И снова пылью огнецветной
Ниспасть на землю осужден...
