Vechernij zvon
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vechernij zvon… ne zhdi rassveta; No i v tumanakh dekabrja, Poroj mne shlet ulybku leta Pokholodevshaja zarja… Na vse prizyvy bez otveta Ukhodish' ty, moj seryj den'! Odin zakat ne bez priveta… I ne bez smysla — `eta ten'… Vechernij zvon… — dusha po`eta, Blagoslovi ty `etot zvon, — On ne pokhozh na kriki sveta, Spugnuvshego moj luchshij son. Vechernij zvon, i v otdalen'i, Skvoz' gul trevogi gorodskoj, Ty mne prorochish' vdokhnoven'e, Ili — mogilu i pokoj. No zhizn' i smerti prizrak — miru O chjom-to vechnom govorjat. I kak ni gromko poj ty, — liru Kolokola perezvonjat. Bez nikh, byt' mozhet, dazhe genij Ljud'mi zabudetsja, kak son, — I budet mir inykh javlenij, Inykh torzhestv i pokhoron.
