Spokojnaja metel'

Pokojnik spat' lozhitsja
    Na beluju postel'.
V okne legko kruzhitsja
    Spokojnaja metel'.
Pukhovym vetrom mchitsja
    Na snezhnuju postel'.

Snezhinok legkij pukh
    Kuda letit, kuda?
Proshli, proshli goda,
    Prosti, bessmertnyj dukh,
Mjatezhnyj vzor i slukh!
    Nastalo nikogda.

I otdykh, milyj otdykh
    Legko pril'nul ko mne.
I vozdukh, vol'nyj vozdukh
    Vzdokhnul na prostyne.
Prosti, krylatyj dukh!
    Leti, bessmertnyj pukh!
