Zolotaya zvezda
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zolotaya zvezda nad Zemlyoyu v prostranstve letela, I s Lazuri na sonnuyu Zemlyu upast` zaxotela. Obol`stilas` ona goluby'mi zemny'mi czvetami, Izumrudnoj travoj i shurshashhimi v polnoch` listami. I, raskinuvshi put` zolotoj po Lazuri bezdonnoj, Poletela kak angel — kak angel prestupno-vlyublyonny'j. Chem by'strej uletala ona, tem blistala yasnee, I gorela, sgorala, v vostorge lyubvi plameneya. I, zardevshis` blazhenstvom, ona ustupila bessil`yu, I, Zemli ne kosnuvshis`, rassy'palas` yarkoyu py'l`yu.
