Language: Russian (Русский)
K chemu tverzhu ya stix uny'ly'j, Zachem, v polnochnoj tishine, Tot golos strastny'j, golos mily'j Letit i prositsya ko mne,- Zachem? ogon` nemy'x stradanij V ee dushe zazheg ne ya... V ee grudi, v toske ry'danij Tot ston zvuchal ne dlya menya. Tak dlya chego zhe tak bezumno Dusha bezhit k ee nogam, Kak volny' morya mchatsya shumno K nedostizhimy'm beregam?
