Xrustal`ny'j vozdux
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kakaya grust` v prozrachnosti Nebes, V bezdonnosti s edinstvennoj Zvezdoyu. Izvayan, otodvinut v Vechnost` les, Udvoenny'j glubokoyu vodoyu. Iz kraya v kraj uxodit dlinny'j put`. Xrustal`ny'j vozdux xoloden, bez laski. O, maj, uzhel` ty' by'l kogda-nibud`? Ves` mir — pechal` zasty'vshej blednoj skazki.
