Ad infinitum
Language: Russian (Русский)
V khrame vsjo — kak prezhde bylo. Slyshen tikhij vzmakh kadil. «Ja smejalsja, ja shutil. Neuzheli ty ljubila?» Dymen smutnyj trepet svech, Na ikonakh svet zajomnyj. Kazhdyj khochet v cerkvi tjomnoj Ot svechi svechu zazhech'. V khrame budet tak, kak bylo. Slyshen tikhij zvon kadil. «A, nevernyj! Ty shutil. Gore! Gore! Ja ljubila.»
