Zolotaja zvezda
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zolotaja zvezda nad Zemlëju v prostranstve letela, I s Lazuri na sonnuju Zemlju upast' zachotela. Obol'stilas' ona golubymi zemnymi cvetami, Izumrudnoj travoj i šuršaščimi v polnoč' listami. I, raskinuvši put' zolotoj po Lazuri bezdonnoj, Poletela kak angel — kak angel prestupno-vljublënnyj. Čem bystrej uletala ona, tem blistala jasnee, I gorela, sgorala, v vostorge ljubvi plameneja. I, zardevšis' blaženstvom, ona ustupila bessil'ju, I, Zemli ne kosnuvšis', rassypalas' jarkoju pyl'ju.
