Silentium
Language: Russian (Русский)
Molchi, skry'vajsya i tai I chuvstva i mechty' svoi — Puskaj v dushevnoj glubine Vstayut i zaxodyat one Bezmolvno, kak zvezdy' v nochi, — Lyubujsya imi — i molchi. Kak serdczu vy'skazat` sebya? Drugomu kak ponyat` tebya? Pojmyot li on, chem ty' zhivyosh`? My'sl` izrechénnaya est` lozh`. Vzry'vaya, vozmutish` klyuchi, — Pitajsya imi — i molchi. Lish` zhit` v sebe samom umej — Est` cely'j mir v dushe tvoej Tainstvenno-volshebny'x dum; Ix oglushit naruzhny'j shum, Dnevny'e razgonyat luchi, — Vnimaj ix pen`yu — i molchi!..
