Predel
Language: Russian (Русский)
Serdce ispolneno sčast'em želan'ja, Sčast'em vozmožnosti i ožidan'ja, — No i trepeščet ono i boitsja, Čto ožidanie — možet sveršit'sja... Polnost'ju žizni prinjat' my ne smeem, Tjažesti sčast'ja podnjat' ne umeem, Zvukov chotim, — no sozvučij boimsja, Prazdnym želan'em predelov tomimsja, Večno ich ljubim, večno stradaja, — I umiraem, ne dostigaja...
