by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)
Balagan
Language: Russian (Русский)
Nu, staraja kljača, pojdëm
lomat' svoego Šekspira!
Kin
Nad čërnoj sljakot'ju dorogi
Ne podnimaetsja tuman.
Vezut, pokrjachtyvaja, drogi
Moj polinjalyj balagan.
Lico dnevnoe Arlekina
Eščë blednej, čem lik P'ero.
I v ugol prjačet Kolombina
Lochmot'ja, sšitye pestro...
Taščites', traurnye kljači!
Aktëry, prav'te remeslo,
Čtoby ot istiny chodjačej
Vsem stalo bol'no i svetlo!
V tajnik duši pronikla plesen',
No nado plakat', pet', idti,
Čtob v raj moich zamorskich pesen
Otkrylis' tornye puti.
