Vyryta zastupom jama glubokaja
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vyryta zastupom jama glubokaja, Zhizn' nevesjolaja, zhizn' odinokaja, Zhizn' besprijutnaja, zhizn' terpelivaja, Zhizn', kak osennjaja noch', molchalivaja, — Gor'ko ona, moja bednaja, shla I, kak stepnoj ogonjok, zamerla. Chto zhe? usni, moja dolja surovaja! Krepko zakrojetsja kryshka sosnovaja, Plotno syroju zemljoju pridavitsja, Tol'ko odnim chelovekom ubavitsja… Ubyl' jego nikomu ne bol'na, Pamjat' o njom nikomu ne nuzhna!.. Vot ona — slyshitsja pesn' bezzabotnaja, Gost'ja pogosta, pevun'ja zaljotnaja, V vozdukhe sinem na vole kupajetsja; Zvonkaja pesn' serebrom rassypajetsja… Tishe!.. O zhizni pokonchen vopros. Bol'she ne nuzhno ni pesen, ni sljoz!
