by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)
Ne mogu ya sly'shat` e`toj ptichki
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ne mogu ya sly'shat` e`toj ptichki, Chtoby' totchas serdcem ne vsporxnut`; Ne mogu, naperekor privy'chke, Kak vojdyosh`, - xot` molcha ne vzdoxnut`. Ty' ne vspy'xnesh`, ty' ne pobledneesh`, Vzory' polny' tixogo ognya; Bol`no videt` mne, kak ty' umeesh` Ne vidat` i ne sly'xat` menya. YA tebya nevol`no bespokoyu, Torzhestvo dolzhna ty' iskupit`: Na zare bez tuch nel`zya takoyu Molodoj i luchezarnoj by't`!
