by Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky (1865 - 1941)

Успокоенные
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Успокоенные Тени, 
Те, что любящими были, 
Бродят жалобной толпой 
Там, где волны полны лени, 
Там, над урной мертвой пыли, 
Там, над Летой гробовой. 

Успокоенные Тучи, 
Те, что днем, в дыханьи бури, 
Были мраком и огнем, - 
Там, вдали, где лес дремучий, 
Спят в безжизненной лазури 
В слабом отблеске ночном. 

Успокоенные Думы, 
Те, что прежде были страстью, 
Возмущеньем и борьбой, - 
Стали кротки и угрюмы, 
Не стремятся больше к счастью, 
Полны мертвой тишиной.
