Morskoe dno
Language: Russian (Русский)
S morskogo dna bezmolvny'e upryoki Donosyatsya do laskovoj Luny' — O tom, chto e`ti oblasti dalyoki Ot vozduxa, ot vol`noj vy'shiny'. Tam vsyo zhivyot, tam zvuchen plesk volny', A zdes` na zhizn` lish` bledny'e namyoki, Zdes` vechny'j son, pusty'nya tishiny', Puchiny' Morya mertvenno-gluboki. I vot Luna, prosnuvshis` v vy'sote, Poit ognyom kipuchie prilivy', I volny' rvutsya k dal`nej Krasote. Luna gorit, igrayut perelivy', — No tam, pod bleskom voln, morskoe dno Po-prezhnemu bezzhiznenno temno.
