Gnomy
Language: Russian (Русский)
Na lugu bol'šija kuči Sveževyrytoj zemli. Leto. Žarko. Polden' žgučij. Dym stoit vdali. Kto zdes' rylsja? Možet, gnomy? Vsej smešnoj tolpoj svoej Strojat nižnija choromy Dlja svoich carej? Goroda vo t'me vozvodjat, Strojat zamki pod zemlej, I, urodlivye, Chodjat pod moej nogoj? Zažigajut vyreznyja lampy V parstve temnoty? Tak ėto gnomy? Net ošibsja. To slepye čërnye kroty.
