by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Umer bednyj cvetok na grudi u tebja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Umer bednyj cvetok na grudi u tebja,
On naveki poblëk i zavjal,
No on umer trevožno i nežno ljubja,
‎On nedarom stradal.

Dolgo ždal on tebja na prostore polej,
Celyj den' na grudi krasovalsja tvoej,
Kak on pyšno, kak čudno, kak jarko blistal,
‎On nedarom ljubil i stradal.
