Večernij zvon
Language: Russian (Русский)
Večernij zvon… ne ždi rassveta; No i v tumanach dekabrja, Poroj mne šlet ulybku leta Pocholodevšaja zarja… Na vse prizyvy bez otveta Uchodiš' ty, moj seryj den'! Odin zakat ne bez priveta… I ne bez smysla — ėta ten'… Večernij zvon… — duša poėta, Blagoslovi ty ėtot zvon, — On ne pochož na kriki sveta, Spugnuvšego moj lučšij son. Večernij zvon, i v otdalen'i, Skvoz' gul trevogi gorodskoj, Ty mne proročiš' vdochnoven'e, Ili — mogilu i pokoj. No žizn' i smerti prizrak — miru O čëm-to večnom govorjat. I kak ni gromko poj ty, — liru Kolokola perezvonjat. Bez nich, byt' možet, daže genij Ljud'mi zabudetsja, kak son, — I budet mir inych javlenij, Inych toržestv i pochoron.
