Bojus' ne smerti ja. O net!
Language: Russian (Русский)
Bojus' ne smerti ja. O net! Bojus' ischeznut' sovershenno. Khochu, chtob trud moj vdokhnovennyj Kogda-nibud' uvidel svet; Khochu — i snova zatrudnen'e! Zachem? chto pol'zy budet mne? Moje svershitsja razrushen'e V chuzhoj, nevedomoj strane. Ja ne khochu brodit' mezh vami Po razrushenii! — Tvorec, Na to li ja zvuchal strunami, Na to li sozdan byl pevec? Na to li vdokhnoven'e, strasti Menja k mogile priveli? I net v dushe dovol'no vlasti — Ljublju muchenija zemli. I `etot obraz, on za mnoju V mogilu silitsja bezhat', Tuda, gde obeshchal mne dat' Ty mesto k vechnomu pokoju. No chuvstvuju: pokoja net: I tam, i tam jego ne budet; Tekh dlinnykh, tekh zhestokikh let Stradalec vechno ne zabudet!...
