Slepec
Language: Russian (Русский)
Požalejte, ljudi dobrye, menja, Mne už bol'še ne uvidet' bleska dnja. Sam sebja slepym ja sdelal, kak Ėdip, Mudrym buduči, ot mudrosti pogib. JA smotrel na zemlju, polnuju cvetov, I v zemle uvidel sonmy mertvecov. JA smotrel na belyj mesjac bez konca, Vypil krov' on, krov' iz blednogo lica. JA na solnce gljanul, solnce razgadal, Den' kazat'sja mne prekrasnym perestal. I, uvidev tajnyj oblik vsech veščej, Strach ja prinjal v glubinu svoich očej. Požalejte, ljudi dobrye, menja, Mne už bol'še ne uvidet' bleska dnja. Možet Rok i vas zastignut' slepotoj, Požalejte soblaznënnogo mečtoj.
