by Zinaida Nikolayevna Gippius (1869 - 1945)

Петухи
Language: Russian (Русский) 
                       П. С. С.

Ты пойми, — мы ни там, ни тут. 
Дело наше такое, — бездомное. 
Петухи поют, поют... 
Но лицо небес ещё тёмное.  

На деревья гляди, — на верхи. 
Не колеблет их близость рассветная... 
Всё поют, поют петухи, — 
Но земля молчит, неответная...
