Žemčužina
Language: Russian (Русский)
Posmotri, v prostorach matovych potuchajuščej zari Est' žemčužinka, kotoraja zasvetilas' iznutri. Ėto — ta lampada večnaja, nerazlučnaja so mnoj, Čto gorit zvezdoj Večerneju nad izognutoj Lunoj. Ach, ot ostrogo i nežnogo, tonko-belogo Serpa K dnjam minuvšim označaetsja ele zrimaja tropa. Vižu tichuju ja detskuju, luč lampady v pljaske snov, I grjaduščee mereščitsja — tam — kak nitka žemčugov.
