Čajka
Language: Russian (Русский)
Čajka, seraja čajka s pečal'nymi krikami nositsja Nad cholodnoj pučinoj morskoj. I otkuda primčalas'? Začem? Počemu ee žaloby Tak polny bezgraničnoj toskoj? Beskonečnaja dal'. Neprivetnoe nebo nachmurilos'. Zakurčavilas' pena sedaja na grebne volny. Plačet severnyj veter, i čajka rydaet, bezumnaja, Besprijutnaja čajka iz dal'nej strany.
