K chemu tverzhu ja stikh unylyj
Language: Russian (Русский)
K chemu tverzhu ja stikh unylyj, Zachem, v polnochnoj tishine, Tot golos strastnyj, golos milyj Letit i prositsja ko mne,- Zachem? ogon' nemykh stradanij V jee dushe zazheg ne ja... V jee grudi, v toske rydanij Tot ston zvuchal ne dlja menja. Tak dlja chego zhe tak bezumno Dusha bezhit k jee nogam, Kak volny morja mchatsja shumno K nedostizhimym beregam?
