Language: Russian (Русский)
Sred` smexa prazdnogo, sredi pustogo gula,
Mne dushu za tebya tomit nevol`ny'j strax:
YA videl, kak sleza ukradkoyu blesnula
V tvoix potuplenny'x ochax.
Tvoj bezzashhitny'j cheln slomila zlaya burya,
Na bereg vy'broshen neopy'tny'j plovecz.
Otkinuvshi veslo i golovu ponurya,
Ty' zhdesh`: nastupit li konecz?
Ne uny'vaj, plovecz! Kak son, minuet gore,
Zatixnet buri svist i ropot voln sedy'x,
I pokorennoe, likuyushhee more
U nog ulyazhetsya tvoix.
