Ulica noch'ju
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ulica, ulica... Teni bezzvuchno speshashchikh Telo prodat', I zabven'e kupit', I opjat' pogruzit'sja V sonnoje ozero goroda - zimnego kholoda... Spite. Zabud'te slova luchezarnykh. O, jesli b ne bylo v oknakh Svetov mercajushchikh! Shtor i puncovykh cvetochkov! Lic, naklonennykh nad skudnoj rabotoj! Vsjo tikho. Luna podnjalas'. I oblachnykh per'ev rjady Razbezhalis' daljoko.
