by Nikolai Maksimovich Vilenkin (1855 - 1937), as Nikolai Maksimovich Minsky
Listopad
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kak streloj ubity'j metkoj, Pokachnulsya list nad vetkoj, Otdelilsya, poletel — I, kruzhas` neravnomerno, Nazem` padat` stal neverno I, upav, ocepenel. Vsled za nim drugoj i tretij… Iz vershiny', kak iz seti, Zoloty'e moty'l`ki Nazem` valyatsya, kruzhatsya, U rodny'x stvolov lozhatsya, Mnogoczvetny' i legki. Pozdnij den` gorit besstrastno, Nebo smotrit bezuchastno Na sud`bu svoix detej. Smert` bagryanit ix i metit, I vse bol`she neba svetit Skvoz` pustoj korall vetvej.
