Kak nezhish` ty', serebryanaya noch`
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kak nezhish` ty', serebryanaya noch`, V dushe rasczvet nemoj i tajnoj sily'! O! okry'li i daj mne prevozmoch` Ves` e`tot tlen, bezdushny'j i uny'ly'j. Kakaya noch`! almaznaya rosa Zhivy'm ognyom s ognyami neba v spore. Kak okean, razverzlis` nebesa, I spit zemlya i teplitsya, kak more. Moj dux, o noch`! kak padshij serafim, Priznal rodstvo s netlennoj zhizn`yu zvezdnoj, I, okry'lyon dy'xaniem tvoim, Gotov letet` nad e`toj tajnoj bezdnoj.
