Korabl' pošël navstreču tëmnoj noči
Language: Russian (Русский)
Korabl' pošël navstreču [tëmnoj]1 noči... JA lëg na palubu s otkrytoj golovoj; Grustja, v obitel' zvëzd vperil ja sonny oči, Kak budto v toj strane tainstvenno-nemoj Dlja moego čela venec pletut Pleady, I zažigajut večnye lampady, I obeščajut mne bessmertija pokoj. No vot — cholodnyj vetr dochnul nad okeanom; Nebesnye ogni podërnulis' tumanom. I lëg ja nic s pokrytoj golovoj, I v smutnych grëzach mne kazalos': podo mnoj Najady s chochotom v pučinnyj mrak nyrjajut, Na dne ego mogilu razgrebajut — I obeščajut mne zabvenija pokoj.
