by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)
Grustja i placha i smejas'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Grustja i placha i smejas',
Zvenjat ruch'i moikh stikhov
U nog tvoikh,
I kazhdyj stikh
Bezhit, pletjot zhivuju vjaz',
Svoikh ne znaja beregov.
No skvoz' khrustal'nye strui
Ty daleka mne, kak byla…
Pojut i plachut khrustali…
Kak mne sozdat' cherty tvoi,
Chtob ty prijti ko mne mogla
Iz ocharovannoj dali?
