by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)
Balagan
Language: Russian (Русский)
Nu, staraya klyacha, pojdyom
lomat` svoego Shekspira!
Kin
Nad chyornoj slyakot`yu dorogi
Ne podnimaetsya tuman.
Vezut, pokryaxty'vaya, drogi
Moj polinyaly'j balagan.
Liczo dnevnoe Arlekina
Eshhyo blednej, chem lik P`ero.
I v ugol pryachet Kolombina
Loxmot`ya, sshity'e pestro...
Tashhites`, traurny'e klyachi!
Aktyory', prav`te remeslo,
Chtoby' ot istiny' xodyachej
Vsem stalo bol`no i svetlo!
V tajnik dushi pronikla plesen`,
No nado plakat`, pet`, idti,
Chtob v raj moix zamorskix pesen
Otkry'lis` torny'e puti.
