K ney, 'To her'
Russian source: Andrei Bely

Travï odetï perlami.
Gde-to privetï
Grustnïye slïshu,
Privetï milïye …
Milaya, gde tï,
Milaya!

Vechera svetï yasnïye,
Vechera svetï krasnïye
Ruki vozdetï:
Zhdu tebya,
Milaya, gde tï,
Milaya?

Ruki vozdetï:
Zhdu tebya,
V struyakh
Letï smïtuyu
Blednïmi Letï
Struyami …
Milaya, gde tï,
Milaya!
