by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Net, ne mogu ya zasnut`, i ne zhdat`, i...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Net, ne mogu ya zasnut`, i ne zhdat`, i smirit`sya,
  V serdce volnen`e rastyot i rastyot! 
Mozhet li veter svobodny'j komu pokorit`sya? 
  Mozhet li zvyozd ne blistat` xorovod?

Net, mne ne nuzhno pokoya, ne nuzhno zabven`ya, 
  Esli zhe schast`ya nam ne dano, --
V more otchayan`ya, v tyomnuyu bezdnu muchen`ya 
  Broshus` na samoe dno?
