Angel
Language: Russian (Русский)
V dveryax E`dema angel nezhny'j Glavoj poniksheyu siyal, A demon mrachny'j i myatezhny'j Nad adskoj bezdnoyu letal. Dux otriczan`ya, dux somnen`ya Na duxa chistogo vziral I zhar nevol`ny'j umilen`ya Vpervy'e smutno poznaval. «Prosti,» on ryok, «tebya ya videl, I ty' nedarom mne siyal: Ne vsyo ya v [nebe]1 nenavidel, Ne vsyo ya v mire preziral.»
