Slova smolkali
Language: Russian (Русский)
Slova smolkali na ustakh, mel'kal smychok, rydala skripka, i voznikala v dvukh serdcakh bezumno svetlaja oshibka. I vzory zhadnye slilis' v mechte, kotoroj net nazvan'ja, i nit'ju zybkoju splelis', tomjas' i ne strashas' priznan'ja. Sredi tolpy, sredi ognej ljubov' rosla i vozrastala, i skripka, tochno slivshis' s nej, drozhala, pela i rydala.
