Vo t'me kruzhitsja shar zemnoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vo t'me kruzhitsja shar zemnoj, Zalityj krov'ju i slezami, Povityj smertnoj pelenoj I nerazgadannymi snami. My dolgo shli skvoz' vikhr' i znoj, I zagrubeli nashi lica. No leg za nami mrak nochnoj, Pred nami - vspykhnula dennica. Chem blizhe k utru - tem jasnej, Tem dal'she sumrachnye dali. O, sonmy plachushchikh tenej Nechelovecheskoj pechali! Da, v vechnost' vvergnetsja toska Pred solncem pravdy vsemogushchej. Za nami srednije veka. Pred nami svet zari grjadushchej.
