O, veshchaja dusha moja
Language: Russian (Русский)
O, veshchaja dusha moja! O serdce, polnoje trevogi, O, kak ty b'josh'sja na poroge Kak by dvojnogo bytija! ... Tak, ty zhilica dvukh mirov, Tvoj den' - boleznennyj i strastnyj, Tvoj son - prorocheski-nejasnyj, Kak otkrovenije dukhov... Puskaj stradal'cheskuju grud' Volnujut strasti rokovye - Dusha gotova, kak Marija, K nogam Khrista navek pril'nut'.
