Zatvornica
Language: Russian (Русский)
V odnoj znakomoj ulice -- JA pomnju staryj dom, S vysokoj, tëmnoj lestnicej, S zavešennym oknom. Tam ogonëk, kak zvëzdočka, Do polnoči svetil, I veter zanaveskoju Tichon'ko ševelil. Nikto ne znal, kakaja tam Zatvornica žila, Kakaja sila tajnaja Menja tuda vlekla, I čto za čudo-devuška V zavetnyj čas nočnoj Menja vstrečala, blednaja, S raspušennoj kosoj. Kakie reči detskie Ona tverdila mne: O žizni nejzvedannoj, O dal'nej storone. Kak ne po-detski plamenno, Pril'nuv k ustam moim, Ona, droža, šeptala mne: «Poslušaj, ubežim! My budem pticy vol'nye - Zabudem gordyj svet... Gde net ljudej proščajušich, Tuda vozvrata net...» I ticho slëzy kapali -- I poceluj zvučal -- I veter zanaveskoju Trevožno kolychal.
