by Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva (1892 - 1941)

Ruki lyublyu/ Czelovat`, i lyublyu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ruki lyublyu
Czelovat`, i lyublyu
Imena razdavat`,
I eshhe – raskry'vat`
Dveri!
– Nastezh` – v temnuyu noch`!

Golovu szhav,
Slushat`, kak tyazhkij shag
Gde-to legchaet,
Kak veter kachaet
Sonny'j, bessonny'j
Les.

Ax, noch`!
Gde-to begut klyuchi,
Ko snu – klonit.
Splyu pochti
Gde-to v nochi
Chelovek tonet.
