Morskoe dno
Language: Russian (Русский)
S morskogo dna bezmolvnye uprëki Donosjatsja do laskovoj Luny — O tom, čto ėti oblasti dalëki Ot vozducha, ot vol'noj vyšiny. Tam vsë živët, tam zvučen plesk volny, A zdes' na žizn' liš' blednye namëki, Zdes' večnyj son, pustynja tišiny, Pučiny Morja mertvenno-gluboki. I vot Luna, prosnuvšis' v vysote, Poit ognëm kipučie prilivy, I volny rvutsja k dal'nej Krasote. Luna gorit, igrajut perelivy, — No tam, pod bleskom voln, morskoe dno Po-prežnemu bezžiznenno temno.
