by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Позабытое
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Мечтой уношусь я к местам позабытым,
К холмам одиноким, дождями размытым,
К далёким, стооким, родимым планетам,
Что светят сквозь ветви таинственным светом.

Я вновь удаляюсь к первичным святыням,
Где дремлют купавы на озере синем,
Где ландыши в роще и дышат, и светят,
И если их спросишь, — слезами ответят.

Мне чудятся всплески, и запах фиалок,
И эхо от звонкого смеха русалок,
Мне слышится голос умершей печали, —
И стоном за склоном ответствуют дали.

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