by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)
Noč'. Gorod ugomonilsja
Language: Russian (Русский)
Noč'. Gorod ugomonilsja. Za bol'šim oknom Ticho i toržestvenno, Kak budto čelovek umiraet. No tam stoit prosto grustnyj, Rasstroennyj neudačej, S otkrytym vorotom, I smotrit na zvezdy. «Zvezdy, zvezdy, Rasskažite pričinu grusti!» I na zvezdy smotrit. «Zvezdy, zvezdy, Otkuda takaja toska?» I zvezdy rasskazyvajut. Vsë rasskazyvajut zvezdy.
