Smert`, ubayukaj menya
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zhizn` utomila menya. Smert`, naklonis` nado mnoj! V nebe — predchuvstvie dnya, Sumrak bledneet nochnoj… Smert`, ubayukaj menya! Rannej dushistoj vesnoj, V utrennej devstvennoj mgle, Dub zalepechet s sosnoj. Grustno poniknet k zemle Laskovy'j landy'sh lesnoj. Vestnik bessmertnogo dnya, Gde-to zashepchet rodnik, Gde-to prosnyotsya, zvenya… V e`tot tainstvenny'j mig, Smert`, ubayukaj menya!
