by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Poroyu v tverdi goluboj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Poroyu v tverdi goluboj
Proxodyat tuchi nad dolinoj;
Oni kartinu za kartinoj,
Ply'vya, svivayut mezh soboj.
Tak, v neskonchaemom dvizhen`i,
Klubitsya predo mnoj vsegda
Vospominanij chereda,
Pogibshej zhizni otrazhen`ya;
I l`nut, i v`yutsya bez koncza,
I vechno volyu osazhdayut,
I onemevshego pevcza,
Laskayas`, k pesnyam prizy'vayut.
I kazn`yu stal mne prazdny'j dar,
Vsegda gotovy'j k probuzhden`yu;
Tak zhdet lish` vetra dunoven`ya
Pod peplom tleyushhij pozhar -
Pered moim trevozhny'm duxom
Tesnyatsya obrazy' tolpoj,
I, v tishine, nad chutkim uxom
Drozhit sozvuchij merny'j stroj;
I ya, ne smeya svyatotatno
Ix vy'zvat` v zhizn` iz czarstva t`my',
V xaosa noch` gonyu obratno
Moi nepety'e psalmy'.
No tshhetno ya, v besplodnoj bitve,
Tverzhu ustavny'e slova
I zauchenny'e molitvy' -
Dusha beret svoi prava!
Uvy', pod e`toj rizoj chernoj,
Kak v ony' dni pod bagreczom,
Zhivy'm palimoe ognem,
Myatetsya serdce nepokorno!
Yudol`, gde ya poxoronil
Brozhen`e deyatel`ny'x sil,
Svobodu tvorcheskogo slova -
Yudol` molchan`ya rokovogo!
O, peredaj dushe moej
Tvoix stremnin pokoj ugryumy'j!
Pusty'nny'j veter, o razvej
Moi nedremlyushhie dumy'!
