by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Zimnij veter igrajet ternovnikom
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zimnij veter igrajet ternovnikom,
Zaduvajet v okne svechu.
Ty ushla na svidan'e s ljubovnikom.
Ja odin. Ja proshchu. Ja molchu.

Ty ne znajesh', komu ty molish'sja -
On igrajet i shutit s toboj.
O ternovnik kholodnyj ukolesh'sja,
Vozvrashchajas' noch'ju domoj.

No, davno prislushavshis' k schastiju,
U okna ja tebja podozhdu.
Ty jemu otdajosh'sja so strastiju.
Vsjo ravno. Ja tajnu bljudu.

Vsjo, chto v serdce tvojom tumanitsja,
Stanet jasno v mojej tishine.
I, kogda on s toboj rasstanetsja,
Ty priznajesh'sja tol'ko mne.
