by Mirra (Mariya) Alexandrovna Lokhvitskaya (1869 - 1905)
Plovcy
Language: Russian (Русский)
Gorel vostok – kogda k velikoj celi My protiv voln napravili čelnok. My plakali, my verili, my peli,- Nas ne strašil «neumolimyj Rok». Dlja žertv tolpy, tupoj i ozvereloj, Spletali my venki nebesnych roz. Nad t'moj vekov sverkal naš parus belyj, A na korme spokojno spal Christos. No vot gudjat bušujuščie sfery, Sokryta zvezd svjataja krasota. I smotrim my s toskoj zabytoj very Na krotkij lik usnuvšego Christa. Blažennyj kraj, ty vnov' nedosjagaem! My vstretim smert' bez gimnov i cvetov… I na ustach nemeet skorbnyj zov: «O Gospodi, prosnis'!.. My pogibaem!»
