by Valery Yakovlevich Bryusov (1873 - 1924)

Ne pravda li: my v skazke
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne pravda li: my v skazke,
My v knižke dlja detej?
Tvoi tak nežny glazki,
I postup' — kak u fej!

JA — princ, a ty — carevna,
Otec tvoj — zloj korol'…
No ne gljadi tak gnevno,
Pobyt' s toboj pozvol'.

JA v šapke-nevidimke,
Dlja vsech — ty zdes' odna!
I vot v večernej dymke
Pomerkla dal' okna.

Prislužnicy uvodjat
Tebja pod polog tvoj…
Nočnye teni brodjat,
I ja vo mgle s toboj!

Usta tvoi bezmolvny,
Smežën pokornyj vzor.
Brosaju v vozduch — v volny
Naš samolet-kovër.

Vlekut nas v carstvo laski
Sem' belych lebedej…
Ne pravda li: my v skazke,
My v knižke dlja detej?
