by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)
Zapad gasnet v dali bledno‑rozovoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zapad gasnet v dali bledno-rozovoj, zvezdy nebo usejali čistoe, solovej sviščet v rošče berezovoj, i travoju zapachlo dušistoju. Znaju, čto tebe v dumušku vkralosja, znaju serdca nemolčnye žaloby, ne choču ja, čtob ty pritvorjalasja i k ulybke sebja prinuždala by. Tvoë serdce bolit bezotradnoe, v nëm ne svetit zvezda ni edinaja - plač' svobodno, moja nenagljadnaja, poka pesnja zvučit solov'inaja, solov'inaja pesnja unylaja, čto kak žaloba katitsja sleznaja, plač', duša moja, plač', moja milaja, tebja nebo liš' slušaet zvezdnoe!
