Vechernij zvon
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vechernij zvon… ne zhdi rassveta; No i v tumanax dekabrya, Poroj mne shlet uly'bku leta Poxolodevshaya zarya… Na vse prizy'vy' bez otveta Uxodish` ty', moj sery'j den`! Odin zakat ne bez priveta… I ne bez smy'sla — e`ta ten`… Vechernij zvon… — dusha poe`ta, Blagoslovi ty' e`tot zvon, — On ne poxozh na kriki sveta, Spugnuvshego moj luchshij son. Vechernij zvon, i v otdalen`i, Skvoz` gul trevogi gorodskoj, Ty' mne prorochish` vdoxnoven`e, Ili — mogilu i pokoj. No zhizn` i smerti prizrak — miru O chyom-to vechnom govoryat. I kak ni gromko poj ty', — liru Kolokola perezvonyat. Bez nix, by't` mozhet, dazhe genij Lyud`mi zabudetsya, kak son, — I budet mir iny'x yavlenij, Iny'x torzhestv i poxoron.
