Три вальса

Song Cycle by Karina Yuryevna Makhanko

Луна и туман

Language: Russian (Русский) 
Озеро дышит тёплым туманом...
Он мутен и нежен, как сладкий обман.
Борется небо с земным обманом:
Луна, весь до дна, прорезает туман.

Я, как и люди, дышу туманом.
Мне [близок, мне сладок]1 уютный обман.
Только душа не живёт обманом --
Она, как луна, проницает туман.
