by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Nad puchinoj morskoj, tyagoteya, povisla...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Nad puchinoj morskoj, tyagoteya, povisla skala,
U podnozh`ya skaly' b`yutsya volny' tolpoj neustannoj,
Greet znoj eyo kamni, k nej lastyatsya veter i mgla,
No bezmolvna ona — v chas nochnoj, v chas zari zlatotkannoj.

Belosnezhnaya tuchka mel`knyot i rastaet nad nej,
Proshhebechet bluzhdayushhix pticz perelyotnaya staya,
Zagoritsya, zabrezzhit za morem zvezda zolotaya,
Nebo vspy'xnet v otvet miriadami sinix ognej.

No ne vidya, ne vnemlya, granitnaya dremlet gromada,
Esli zh volny' sil`nee naxly'nut, zhurcha i zvenya,
Slovno shepchet ona ele sly'shno: «Ne nado… ne nado…
Utishite volnen`e svoyo… Ne budite menya…»
