by Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin (1870 - 1953)

Сириус
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Где ты, звезда моя заветная,
 Венец небесной красоты?
Очарованье безответное
 Снегов и лунной высоты?

Где молодость, простая, чистая,
  В кругу любимом и родном,
И старый дом, и ель смолистая
  В сугробах белых под окном?

Пылай, играй стоцветной силою,
  Неугасимая звезда,
Над дальнею моей могилою,
  Забытой богом навсегда!
