Na cherdake
Language: Russian (Русский)
Chto na svete vyshe Svetlykh cherdakov? Vizhu truby, kryshi Dal'nikh kabakov. Put' tuda zakazan, I na chto — teper'? Vot — ja s nej lish' svjazan… Vot — zakryta dver'… A ona ne slyshit — Slyshit — ne gljadit, Tikhaja — ne dyshit, Belaja — molchit… Uzh ne prosit kushat'… Veter svishchet v shchel'. Kak mne ljubo slushat' V'juzhnuju svirel'! Veter, snezhnyj sever, Davnij drug ty mne! Podari ty vejer Molodoj zhene! Podari jej plat'e Beloje, kak ty! Nanesi v krovat' jej Snezhnye cvety! Ty daril mne gore, Tuchi, da snega… Podari jej zori, Busy, zhemchuga! Chtob byla narjadna I, kak sneg, bela! Chtob gljadel ja zhadno Iz togo ugla!.. Slashche poj ty, v'juga, V snezhnuju trubu, Chtob spala podruga V ledjanom grobu! Chtob ona ne vstala, Ne skripi, doska… Chtob ne ispugala Milogo druzhka!
