by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Poroju v tverdi goluboj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Poroju v tverdi goluboj
Prokhodjat tuchi nad dolinoj;
Oni kartinu za kartinoj,
Plyvja, svivajut mezh soboj.
Tak, v neskonchajemom dvizhen'i,
Klubitsja predo mnoj vsegda
Vospominanij chereda,
Pogibshej zhizni otrazhen'ja;
I l'nut, i v'jutsja bez konca,
I vechno volju osazhdajut,
I onemevshego pevca,
Laskajas', k pesnjam prizyvajut.
I kazn'ju stal mne prazdnyj dar,
Vsegda gotovyj k probuzhden'ju;
Tak zhdet lish' vetra dunoven'ja
Pod peplom tlejushchij pozhar -
Pered moim trevozhnym dukhom
Tesnjatsja obrazy tolpoj,
I, v tishine, nad chutkim ukhom
Drozhit sozvuchij mernyj stroj;
I ja, ne smeja svjatotatno
Ikh vyzvat' v zhizn' iz carstva t'my,
V khaosa noch' gonju obratno
Moi nepetye psalmy.
No tshchetno ja, v besplodnoj bitve,
Tverzhu ustavnye slova
I zauchennye molitvy -
Dusha beret svoi prava!
Uvy, pod `etoj rizoj chernoj,
Kak v ony dni pod bagrecom,
Zhivym palimoje ognem,
Mjatetsja serdce nepokorno!
Judol', gde ja pokhoronil
Brozhen'e dejatel'nykh sil,
Svobodu tvorcheskogo slova -
Judol' molchan'ja rokovogo!
O, peredaj dushe mojej
Tvoikh stremnin pokoj ugrjumyj!
Pustynnyj veter, o razvej
Moi nedremljushchije dumy!
