by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Bog sozdal mir iz nichego
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Bog sozdal mir iz nichego.
Uchis`, xudozhnik, u nego, -
I esli tvoj talant krupicza,
Sodelaj s neyu chudesa,
Vzrasti bezmerny'e lesa
I sam, kak skazochnaya pticza,
Umchis` vy'soko v nebesa,
Gde svetit vol`naya zarnicza,
Gde vechny'j oblachny'j priboj
Bezhit po bezdne goluboj.
