by Innokenty Fyodorovich Annensky (1855 - 1909)

Padaet sneg
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Padaet sneg,
Mutny'j, i bely'j, i dolgij,
Padaet sneg,
Zametaya dorogi,
Zasy'paya mogily',
Padaet sneg...
Bely'e vlazhny'e zvezdy'!
YA tak lyublyu vas,
Tixie gost`i ovragov!

Xolod i nega zabven`ya
Serdczu tak sladki...
O bely'e zvezdy'... Zachem zhe,
Veter, zachem ty' svevaesh`,
Zhguchij muchitel`ny'j veter`,
S dumy' i chernoj i tyazhkoj,
Tochno mogil`naya nasy'p`,
Bely'e blestki mechty'?...
V pole zachem ix unosish`?

Esli b zasnut`,
No ne naveki,
Esli b zasnut`
Tak, chtoby' posle prosnut`sya,
Tol`ko pod nebom lazurny'm...
Novy'm, schastlivy'm, lyubimy'm...
