by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Nezhdannyj dozhd'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vsjo tuchki, tuchki, a krugom
Vsjo sozhzheno, vsjo umirajet.
Kakoj arkhangel ikh krylom
Ko mne na nivy navevajet?

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

Smiris', mjatushchijsja po`et -
S nebes niskhodit zhizni vlaga,
Chego ty zhdjosh', togo i net,
Lish' nezasluzhennoje - blago.

Ja - nichego ja ne mogu;
Odin lish' mozhet, kto, moguchij,
Vozdvig prozrachnuju dugu
I zhivonosnye shlet tuchi.
