If I had the Japanese, I've have included that too.
If pressed, I think the Pushkin is probably my favorite poem, but that's such a hard call to make.
There's some really good Yevtushenko (the wordplay in the piece I recall as "freedom" is wonderful, and the sentiments too). Not to say I don't like English poetry. I don't know that some of my fondness for Russian poetry (I like french, but not so well) isn't that it has some parallels to the English meters and rhymes.
