by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Ne mogu ja slyšat' ėtoj ptički
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne mogu ja slyšat' ėtoj ptički,
Čtoby totčas serdcem ne vsporchnut';
Ne mogu, naperekor privyčke,
Kak vojdëš', - chot' molča ne vzdochnut'.

Ty ne vspychneš', ty ne pobledneeš',
Vzory polny tichogo ognja;
Bol'no videt' mne, kak ty umeeš'
Ne vidat' i ne slychat' menja.

JA tebja nevol'no bespokoju,
Toržestvo dolžna ty iskupit':
Na zare bez tuč nel'zja takoju
Molodoj i lučezarnoj byt'!
