by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Uspenie
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Eyo spelenutoe telo
Slozhili v molodom lesu.
Ono ot muk pomolodelo,
Vernuv by'valuyu krasu.

Uzhe ne shumny'j i ne yary'j,
S volnen`em, v szhaty'e persty'
V poslednij raz arxangel stary'j
Vlagaet bely'e czvety'.

Zlatit dalekie vershiny'
Proshhal`ny'm otbleskom zarya,
I nad tumanami doliny'
Vstayut usopshix tri czarya.

Ix privela, kak v dni by'ly'e,
Drugaya, pozdnyaya zvezda.
I pastuxi, uzhe sedy'e,
Kak vstar`, sgonyayut s gor stada.

I strazhej vechnomu pokoyu
Doliny' zastupila mgla.
Lish` mezh zvezdoyu i zareyu
Zlatyatsya nimby' bez chisla.

A vy'she, po kruty'm ovragam
Poyot ruchej, czvetet mindal`,
I nad otkry'ty'm sarkofagom
Mogil`ny'j angel smotrit v dal`.
