by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

V mojom sadu mercajut rozy belye
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V mojom sadu mercajut rozy belye,
Mercajut rozy belye i krasnye.
V mojej dushe drozhat mechty nesmelye, 
  Stydlivye, no strastnye.

Tebja ja videl tol'ko raz, ljubimaja,
No tol'ko raz mechta s mechtoj vstrechajetsja,
V mojej dushe ljubov' nepobedimaja
  Gorit i ne konchajetsja.

Lico tvojo ja vizhu poblednevsheje,
Volnu volos, kak prjadi snov soglasnye,
V glazakh tvoikh -- priznan'e potemnevsheje
  I guby, guby krasnye.

S toboj poznal ja tol'ko raz, ljubimaja,
To jarkoje, chto schast'em nazyvajetsja,
O, ten' moja, besplotnaja, no zrimaja,
  Ljubov' ne zabyvajetsja.

Moja ljubov' -- p'jana, kak [grozd'ja]1 spelye,
V mojej dushe -- zvuchat prizyvy strastnye,
V mojom sadu mercajut rozy belye
  I jarko, jarko-krasnye!
