by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Помогите! помогите! Я один в ночной тиши
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Помогите! помогите! Я один в ночной тиши.
Целый мир ношу я в сердце, но со мною ни души.

Для чего кровавым потом обагряется чело?
Как мне тяжко! Как мне душно! Вековое давит зло!

Помогите! помогите! Но никто не внемлет мне.
Только звёзды, улыбаясь, чуть трепещут в вышине.

Только лик Луны мерцает, да в саду, среди вершин,
Шепчет Ветер перелётный: Ты один — один — один.
