by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Vsyo, chto pamyat` sberech` mne staraetsya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vsyo, chto pamyat` sberech` mne staraetsya,
Propadaet v bezumny'x godax,
No goryashhim zigzagom vzvivaetsya
E`ta povest` v nochny'x nebesax.
Zhizn` davno sozhzhena i rasskazana,
Tol`ko pervaya snitsya lyubov`,
Kak bescenny'j larecz perevyazana
Nakrest lentoyu aloj, kak krov`.

I kogda v tishine moej gornicy'
Pod lampadoj tomlyus` ot obid,
Sinij prizrak umershej lyubovnicy'
Nad kadilom mechtanij skvozit.
