Korabl' poshjol navstrechu tjomnoj nochi
Language: Russian (Русский)
Korabl' poshjol navstrechu [tjomnoj]1 nochi... Ja ljog na palubu s otkrytoj golovoj; Grustja, v obitel' zvjozd vperil ja sonny ochi, Kak budto v toj strane tainstvenno-nemoj Dlja mojego chela venec pletut Pleady, I zazhigajut vechnye lampady, I obeshchajut mne bessmertija pokoj. No vot — kholodnyj vetr dokhnul nad okeanom; Nebesnye ogni podjornulis' tumanom. I ljog ja nic s pokrytoj golovoj, I v smutnykh grjozakh mne kazalos': podo mnoj Najady s khokhotom v puchinnyj mrak nyrjajut, Na dne jego mogilu razgrebajut — I obeshchajut mne zabvenija pokoj.
