Ya zhalobnoj rukoj szhimayu svoj kosty'l`
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ya zhalobnoj rukoj szhimayu svoj kosty'l`. Moj drug — vlyublen v lunu — zhivet eyo obmanom. Vot — tretij na puti. O, mily'j drug moj, ty' l` V izmyatom kartuze nad vzorom olovyanny'm? I — troe my' bredem. Lezhit plastami py'l`. Vsyo pusto — zdes` i tam — pod znoem neustanny'm. Zabory' — kak groba. V kanavax preet gnil`. Vsyo, vsyo pogrebeno v bezlyud`i okayannom. Stuchim. Pechal` v domax. Pokojniki v grobax. My' robko shepchem v dver`: «Ne umer — spit vash blizkij...» No staraya, v chepce, namorshhiv lob svoj nizkij, Krichit: «Stupajte proch`! Ne oskorblyajte prax!» I dal`she my' bredem. I vidim v shheli zdanij Starinnuyu igru vechernix sodroganij.
