by Mirra (Mariya) Alexandrovna Lokhvitskaya (1869 - 1905)
Plovcy'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Gorel vostok – kogda k velikoj celi My' protiv voln napravili chelnok. My' plakali, my' verili, my' peli,- Nas ne strashil «neumolimy'j Rok». Dlya zhertv tolpy', tupoj i ozvereloj, Spletali my' venki nebesny'x roz. Nad t`moj vekov sverkal nash parus bely'j, A na korme spokojno spal Xristos. No vot gudyat bushuyushhie sfery', Sokry'ta zvezd svyataya krasota. I smotrim my' s toskoj zaby'toj very' Na krotkij lik usnuvshego Xrista. Blazhenny'j kraj, ty' vnov` nedosyagaem! My' vstretim smert` bez gimnov i czvetov… I na ustax nemeet skorbny'j zov: «O Gospodi, prosnis`!.. My' pogibaem!»
