by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)
Balagan
Language: Russian (Русский)
Nu, staraja kljacha, pojdjom
lomat' svojego Shekspira!
Kin
Nad chjornoj sljakot'ju dorogi
Ne podnimajetsja tuman.
Vezut, pokrjakhtyvaja, drogi
Moj polinjalyj balagan.
Lico dnevnoje Arlekina
Jeshchjo blednej, chem lik P'ero.
I v ugol prjachet Kolombina
Lokhmot'ja, sshitye pestro...
Tashchites', traurnye kljachi!
Aktjory, prav'te remeslo,
Chtoby ot istiny khodjachej
Vsem stalo bol'no i svetlo!
V tajnik dushi pronikla plesen',
No nado plakat', pet', idti,
Chtob v raj moikh zamorskikh pesen
Otkrylis' tornye puti.
