E`olovy' arfy'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zasuxa!.. Vozdux spit... I nebesa molchat... I arf e`olovy'x bezmolven grustny'j ryad... Te arfy' - e`to vy', pevcy' moej otchizny'! To obraz vashix dush, ispolnenny'x toskoj, Mechtoj zaoblachnoj i grustnoj ukoriznoj!.. Molchat oni, molchat, kak arfy' v e`tot znoj!.. No esli b mimo ix promchalsya vixrem genij I zhizni dux paxnul v rodimoj storone - Navstrechu novy'x sil i novy'x otkrovenij Kakimi b zvukami otkliknulis` one!..
