by Vasily Vasilyevich Bashkin (1880 - 1909)

Levkoi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ljublju ja ikh. V mechtatel'nom pokoje
Na pis'mennom stole sredi bumag i knig
Oni zhivut poslednij kratkij mig, -
Moi pechal'nye, ponikshije levkoi.

Kak zhaloba na neizbezhnost' roka
Ikh mjagkij, sderzhannyj, stydlivyj aromat,
I, kak mechty, ukhodit on daleko,
I, kak oni, on ne pridet nazad.

I lampa l'et drozhashchij polusvet
Na tonkije cvety s zhemchuzhnoju okraskoj,
I ulybajetsja s zadumchivoju laskoj
Ljubimoj devushki sklonennyj k nim portret.

Moi cvety! vas davit dushnyj plen.
Moi cvety! vam tjagostno i skuchno.
V nemoj toske vy plachete bezzvuchno
Sredi glukhikh i ravnodushnykh sten.
