Kamyši
Language: Russian (Русский)
Polnočnoj poroju v bolotnoj gluši Čut' slyšno, besšumno, šuršat kamyši. O čëm oni šepčut? O čëm govorjat? Začem ogon'ki meždu nimi gorjat? Mel'kajut, migajut, — i snova ich net. I snova zabrezžil bluždajuščij svet. Polnočnoj poroj kamyši šelestjat. V nich žaby gnezdjatsja, v nich zmei svistjat. V bolote drožit umirajuščij lik. To Mesjac bagrovyj pečal'no ponik. I tinoj zapachlo. I syrost' polzët. Trjasina zamanit, sožmët, zasosët. «Kogo? Dlja čego?» — kamyši govorjat. «Začem ogon'ki meždu nami gorjat?» No Mesjac pečal'nyj bezmolvno ponik. Ne znaet. Sklonjaet vsë niže svoj lik. I, vzdoch povtorjaja pogibšej duši, Tosklivo, besšumno, šuršat kamyši.
