Language: Russian (Русский)
Our translations: ENG
Любя колосьев мягкий шорох И ясную лазурь, Я не любил, любуясь нивой, Ни тёмных туч, ни бурь. Но налетела туча с градом, Шумит-гремит во мгле; И я с колосьями, как колос, Прибит к сырой земле... К сырой земле прибит -- и стыну, Холодный и немой, И уж не всё ль равно мне - солнце Иль туча надо мной?!
