by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Neždannyj dožd'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vsë tučki, tučki, a krugom
Vsë sožženo, vsë umiraet.
Kakoj archangel ich krylom
Ko mne na nivy navevaet?

Povisnul dožd', kak legkij dym,
Naprasno step' krugom alkala,
I nado mnoju liš' odnim
Zareju raduga stojala.

Smiris', mjatuščijsja poėt -
S nebes nischodit žizni vlaga,
Čego ty ždëš', togo i net,
Liš' nezaslužennoe - blago.

JA - ničego ja ne mogu;
Odin liš' možet, kto, mogučij,
Vozdvig prozračnuju dugu
I živonosnye šlet tuči.
