Vzdymajutsja volny
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vzdymajutsja volny, kak gory, i k tvjordi voznosjatsja zvezdnoj, i s uzhasom padajut vzory v mgnovenno [razrytye]1 bezdny. Podobnaja strasti, ne znajet srediny trevozhnaja sila, to k nebu, to v propast' brosajet lad'ju bez vesla i kormila. Ne ver' zhe, ko zvezdam vzletaja, vysokoj izbrannika dole, ne ver', v glubinu nispadaja, chto zvezd ne uvidish' ty bole! [Stikhii bezbrezhnoj, bezdonnoj, Ujmetsja volnen'e, i vskore V svoj uroven' vstupit zakonnyj...]2 dushi uspokojennoj more.
