Kamy'shi
Language: Russian (Русский)
Polnochnoj poroyu v bolotnoj glushi Chut` sly'shno, besshumno, shurshat kamy'shi. O chyom oni shepchut? O chyom govoryat? Zachem ogon`ki mezhdu nimi goryat? Mel`kayut, migayut, — i snova ix net. I snova zabrezzhil bluzhdayushhij svet. Polnochnoj poroj kamy'shi shelestyat. V nix zhaby' gnezdyatsya, v nix zmei svistyat. V bolote drozhit umirayushhij lik. To Mesyacz bagrovy'j pechal`no ponik. I tinoj zapaxlo. I sy'rost` polzyot. Tryasina zamanit, sozhmyot, zasosyot. «Kogo? Dlya chego?» — kamy'shi govoryat. «Zachem ogon`ki mezhdu nami goryat?» No Mesyacz pechal`ny'j bezmolvno ponik. Ne znaet. Sklonyaet vsyo nizhe svoj lik. I, vzdox povtoryaya pogibshej dushi, Tosklivo, besshumno, shurshat kamy'shi.
