Val's «Luch Nadezhdy»
Language: Russian (Русский)
Nadezhdy val's zovjot, zvuchit -- I, zamiraja, zanyvajet; On tikho k serdcu podstupajet I serdcu gromko govorit: Sredi beschislennykh zabav, Sredi stradannij bystrotechnykh -- Kakikh strastej ty khochesh' vechnykh, Kakikh ty khochesh' vechnykh prav? Naprasnykh blag ne ozhidaj! Zhivi, kruzhas' pod `eti zvuki, I tajnykh ran glukhije muki Ne razdrazhaj, a usypljaj! Kogda zh krasavica projdjot Pered toboj pod maskoj chjornoj I ruku s nezhnost'ju pritvornoj Mnogoznachitel'no pozhmjot, -- Togda oslepni i pylaj! -- Lovi letuchije mgnoven'ja I na pustye uveren'ja Minutnym zharom otvechaj!
