by Maximilian Alexandrovich Kirienko-Voloshin (1877 - 1932)

Как Млечный Путь, любовь твоя
 (Sung text for setting by N. Roslavets)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Как Млечный Путь, любовь твоя
Во мне мерцает влагой звездной,
В зеркальных снах над водной бездной
Алмазность пытки затая.

Ты слёзный свет во тьме железной,
Ты горький звёздный сок. А я —
Я — помутневшие края
Зари слепой и бесполезной.

И жаль мне ночи… Оттого ль,
Что вечных звёзд родная боль
Нам новой смертью сердце скрепит?

Как синий лёд мой день… Смотри!
И меркнет звёзд алмазный трепет
В безбольном холоде зари.
