by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Полоса света
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Море чуть мерцает под Луной
Зеркалом глубоким и холодным
Веет сном и грустью неземной,
Чем-то дальним, сладостным, свободным.
Точно дух навек ушедших дней
Встал в тени немых воспоминаний,
Стал шептать слышней и все слышней
Сказку счастья с музыкой рыданий.
Светочем болезненным сверкнул,
Ярко вспыхнул дрогнувшей слезою,
Прожил миг — и в бездне утонул,
Бросив свет широкой полосою.
