by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Dym ot kostra
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Dym ot kostra strujeju sizoj
struitsja v sumrak, v sumrak dnja.
Dym barkhat alyj aloj rizoj,
lish' svet zari pokryl menja.

Vsjo, vsjo obman; cedym tumanom polzjot
pechal' ugrjumykh mest.
I jel' krestom, krestom bagrjanym kladjot
na dal' vozdumnyj krest...

Podruga, na vechernem pire
pomedli zdes', pobud' so mnoj.
Zabud', zabud' o strashnom mire,
vzdokhni nebesnoj glubinoj.

Smotri s pechal'noju usladoj,
kak v svet zari vpolzajet dym.
Ja ograzhu tebja ogradoj -
kol'com iz ruk, kol'com stal'nym.

Ja ograzhu tebja ogradoj-kol'com zhivym,
kol'com iz ruk,
I nam, kak dym, struit'sja nado sedym
tumanom v alyj krug.
