by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Родная картина
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Стаи птиц. Дороги лента.
Повалившийся плетень.
С отуманенного неба
Грустно смотрит тусклый день.

Ряд берёз, и вид унылый
Придорожного столба.
Как под гнётом тяжкой скорби
Покачнулася изба.

Полусвет и полусумрак, —
10 И невольно рвёшься вдаль,
И невольно давит душу
Бесконечная печаль.

Confirmed with К. Д. Бальмонт, Полное собрание стихов. Том первый, Издание четвертое — М.: Изд. Скорпион, 1914.
