Svetoč
Language: Russian (Русский)
Lovec, vse dni otdavšij lesu, JA napravljal po nëm stopy; Moj glaz privyk k ego navesu I noč'ju različal tropy. Kogda že vdrug iz tuči mglistoj Sosnu užalil jarkij zmej, JA sam zateplil suk smolistyj U zolotych eë ognej. Gorel moj fakel veličavo, Tjanulis' teni predo mnoj, No, obežav menja lukavo, Oni smykalis' za spinoj. Pestreet mgla, bluždajut oči, Krovavyj prizrak v nich gljadit, I tem užasnej sumrak noči, Čem jarče svetoč moj gorit.
