by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Shirok i zhjolt vechernij svet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Shirok i zhjolt vechernij svet,
Nezhna aprel'skaja prokhlada.
Ty opozdal na mnogo let,
No vsjo-taki tebe ja rada.

Sjuda ko mne poblizhe sjad',
Gljadi vesjolymi glazami:
Vot `eta sinjaja tetrad' -
S moimi detskimi stikhami.

Prosti, chto ja zhila skorbja
I solncu radovalas' malo.
Prosti, prosti, chto za tebja
Ja slishkom mnogikh prinimala.
