Bessonnica. Gomer. Tugije parusa
Language: Russian (Русский)
Bessonnica. Gomer. Tugije parusa. Ja spisok korablej prochel do serediny: Sej dlinnyj vyvodok, sej pojezd zhuravlinyj, Chto nad `Elladoju kogda-to podnjalsja. Kak zhuravlinyj klin v chuzhije rubezhi, — Na golovakh carej bozhestvennaja pena, — Kuda plyvete vy? Kogda by ne Jelena, Chto Troja vam odna, akhejskije muzhi? I more, i Gomer — vse dvizhetsja ljubov'ju. Kogo zhe slushat' mne? I vot Gomer molchit, I more chernoje, vitijstvuja, shumit I s tjazhkim grokhotom podkhodit k izgolov'ju.
