Zachem ty' xochesh` slov? Uzheli ty' ne vidish`
Language: Russian (Русский)
«Zachem ty' xochesh` slov? Uzheli ty' ne vidish`, Kak sladko mne s toboj, czvetok moj goluboj? Ni druga, ni vraga ty' vzglyadom ne obidish`, Czvetyosh`, vsegda czvetyosh`, vzleleyanny'j Sud`boj. Zachem tebe slova? YA kak i ty' bezglasna. YA sny' istomny'e leleyu kak i ty'. Smotri, kak dy'shim my', trevozhno, nezhno, strastno… O, mily'j, mily'j moj! Ved` my' s toboj — czvety'!»
