Vzdy'mayutsya volny'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vzdy'mayutsya volny', kak gory', i k tvyordi voznosyatsya zvezdnoj, i s uzhasom padayut vzory' v mgnovenno [razry'ty'e]1 bezdny'. Podobnaya strasti, ne znaet srediny' trevozhnaya sila, to k nebu, to v propast` brosaet lad`yu bez vesla i kormila. Ne ver` zhe, ko zvezdam vzletaya, vy'sokoj izbrannika dole, ne ver`, v glubinu nispadaya, chto zvezd ne uvidish` ty' bole! [Stixii bezbrezhnoj, bezdonnoj, Ujmetsya volnen`e, i vskore V svoj uroven` vstupit zakonny'j...]2 dushi uspokoennoj more.
