Belaya noch`
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zemlya ne spit, naprasno ozhidaya Ob``yatij sumraka i nezhnoj tishiny', Gorit zarya, polneba obnimaya, Bredut tolpoj ispuganny'e sny'. I vse zhivet kakoj-to zhizn`yu lozhnoj, Uspokoeniya naprasno zhazhdet vzor, Kak budto angel bledny'j i trevozhny'j Nad mirom kry'l`ya bely'e proster.
