by Vyacheslav Ivanovich Ivanov (1866 - 1949)

Лебеди
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Лебеди белые кличут и плещутся...
Пруд - как могила, а запад - в пыланиях...
Дрожью предсмертною листья трепещутся -
Сердце в последних сгорает желаниях!

Краски воздушные, повечерелые
К солнцу в невиданных льнут окрылениях...
Кличут над сумраком лебеди белые -
Сердце исходит в последних томлениях!

За мимолетно-отсветными бликами
С жалобой рея пронзенно-унылою,
В лад я пою с их вечерними кликами -
Лебедь седой над осенней могилою...
