by Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky (1865 - 1941)

Нирвана
Language: Russian (Русский) 
И вновь, как в первый день созданья,
Лазурь небесная тиха,
Как будто в мире нет страданья,
Как будто в сердце нет греха.
Не надо мне любви и славы:
В молчаньи утренних полей
Дышу, как дышат эти травы…
Ни прошлых, ни грядущих дней
Я не хочу пытать и числить.
Я только чувствую опять,
Какое счастие — не мыслить,
Какая нега — не желать!
