Val's «Luč Nadeždy»
Language: Russian (Русский)
Nadeždy val's zovët, zvučit -- I, zamiraja, zanyvaet; On ticho k serdcu podstupaet I serdcu gromko govorit: Sredi besčislennych zabav, Sredi stradannij bystrotečnych -- Kakich strastej ty chočeš' večnych, Kakich ty chočeš' večnych prav? Naprasnych blag ne ožidaj! Živi, kružas' pod ėti zvuki, I tajnych ran gluchie muki Ne razdražaj, a usypljaj! Kogda ž krasavica projdët Pered toboj pod maskoj čërnoj I ruku s nežnost'ju pritvornoj Mnogoznačitel'no požmët, -- Togda oslepni i pylaj! -- Lovi letučie mgnoven'ja I na pustye uveren'ja Minutnym žarom otvečaj!
