Kakaja divnaja kartina
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kakaja divnaja kartina Tvoja, o, sever moj, tvoja! Vsegda besplodnaja ravnina, Pustaja, kak mechta moja! Zdes' dukh moj, zlobnyj i upornyj, Trevozhit smekhom tishinu; I, otklikajas', voron chernyj Kachajet mertvuju sosnu; Vnizu klokochut vodopady, Tocha granit i korni drev; I na kamnjakh pojut najady Bespolyj gimn bezmuzhnikh dev; I v `etom gule vod kholodnykh, V postylom krike voron'ja, Pod ryb'im vzorom dev besplodnykh Tikhon'ko tlejet zhizn' moja!
