Excerpt from "Winter evening" (Зимний вечер) by Aleksandr Pushkin in Russian.
Буря мглою небо кроет,
Вихри снежные крутя;
То, как зверь, она завоет,
То заплачет, как дитя,
То по кровле обветшалой
Вдруг соломой зашумит,
То, как путник запоздалый,
К нам в окошко застучит.
Bura mgloyu nebo kroyet,
Bikhri snezhniye krutya;
To, kak zver', on zavoyet,
To zaplachet, kak ditya,
To po krovle obvetshaloy
Vdrug solomoy zashumit,
To, kak putnik zapozdaliy,
K nam v okoshko zastuchit.
Tempest covers sky in haze[s],
Twisting whirls [in driven] snow,
Like a beast begins to howl,
Like a child it wails [anew].
On the worn-out roof it clamours
Suddenly upon the thatch,
Then, as though a traveller tardy
Starts to knock upon our hatch. (lit., window)
