Zvezda
Language: Russian (Русский)
Svetis', svetis', dalekaja zvezda, Chtob ja v nochi vstrechal tebja vsegda. Tvoj slabyj luch, srazhajas' s temnotoj, Nesjot mechty dushe mojej bol'noj. Ona k tebe letajet vysoko, — I grudi sej svobodno i legko... Ja videl vzgljad, ispolnennyj ognja (Uzh on davno zakrylsja dlja menja), No, kak k tebe, k nemu jeshchjo lechu, I khot' nel'zja — smotret' jego khochu...
