Noch`. Gorod ugomonilsya
Language: Russian (Русский)
Noch`. Gorod ugomonilsya. Za bol`shim oknom Tixo i torzhestvenno, Kak budto chelovek umiraet. No tam stoit prosto grustny'j, Rasstroenny'j neudachej, S otkry'ty'm vorotom, I smotrit na zvezdy'. «Zvezdy', zvezdy', Rasskazhite prichinu grusti!» I na zvezdy' smotrit. «Zvezdy', zvezdy', Otkuda takaya toska?» I zvezdy' rasskazy'vayut. Vsyo rasskazy'vayut zvezdy'.
