Magej‑Agava
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ya magej vosxvalyu na gremuchem tamtame. Vstrepenulsya napev – pereklichki struya. On zovetsya magej – za gorami-moryami, I agavoyu – tam, gde otchizna moya. Kazhdy'j list – moshhny'j mech, i s dvumya ostriyami, I s nasechkoyu igl na cherte ostriya. Xishhny'j pomy'sl blesnul, ves` v izzubrennoj rame, To rasten`e – napev, a napev – e`to Ya.
