Slepec
Language: Russian (Русский)
Pozhalejte, ljudi dobrye, menja, Mne uzh bol'she ne uvidet' bleska dnja. Sam sebja slepym ja sdelal, kak `Edip, Mudrym buduchi, 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 vsekh veshchej, Strakh ja prinjal v glubinu svoikh ochej. Pozhalejte, ljudi dobrye, menja, Mne uzh bol'she ne uvidet' bleska dnja. Mozhet Rok i vas zastignut' slepotoj, Pozhalejte soblaznjonnogo mechtoj.
