Есть много звуков | Есть много звуков в сердца глубине

by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Est' mnogo zvukov v serdca glubine

Language: Russian (Русский)

Est' mnogo zvukov v serdca glubine,
Nejasnych dum, nepetych pesnej mnogo;
No zaglušaet večno ich vo mne
Zabot nemolčnych skučnaja trevoga.

Tjažël eë neprošenyj napor,
Izdavna serdce s žizniju borolos' —
No žizn' šumit, kak vichor' lomit bor,
Kak ropot struj, tak šepčet serdca golos!
