by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Uspokoenie
Language: Russian (Русский) 
[Večernee]1 tichoe more
Slivalos' vozdušnoju dymkoj
S grjadoju slegka lilovatych
Ochvačennych snom oblakov,
I v ėtom bezmernom prostore
Dyšali počti nevidimkoj,
Kak dyšat mečty v aromatach,
Besplotnye obrazy snov.

Oni voznikali kak kraski,
Kak čuvstva zažžënnye vzorom,
Kak sladkij vostorg aromata,
Kak blesk i prozračnost' vody,
Kak svetlye vymysly skazki,
Kak tučki, čto vstali dozorom,
Čtob vspychnut' na mig bez vozvrata,
Pred likom večernej zvezdy.
