Language: Russian (Русский)
Bessonnicza. Gomer. Tugie parusa. YA spisok korablej prochel do serediny': Sej dlinny'j vy'vodok, sej poezd zhuravliny'j, Chto nad E`lladoyu kogda-to podnyalsya. Kak zhuravliny'j klin v chuzhie rubezhi, — Na golovax czarej bozhestvennaya pena, — Kuda ply'vete vy'? Kogda by' ne Elena, Chto Troya vam odna, axejskie muzhi? I more, i Gomer — vse dvizhetsya lyubov`yu. Kogo zhe slushat` mne? I vot Gomer molchit, I more chernoe, vitijstvuya, shumit I s tyazhkim groxotom podxodit k izgolov`yu.
