Est' drugie planety
Language: Russian (Русский)
Est' drugie planety, gde vetry pevučie tiše, Gde nebo blednee, travy ton'še i vyše, Gde preryvisto l'jutsja peremennye svety, No svoej peremenoj tol'ko laskajut, smejutsja. Est' inye planety, gde my byli kogda-to, Gde my budem potom, ne teper', ne teper', A kogda, poterjav, sebja poterjav bez vozvrata, My budem ljubit' istomlennye stebli sedych Šelestjaščich trav bez aromata. Tonkich vysokich, kak zvëzdy pečal'nych, Ljubjaščich sonnyj pokoj mest pogrebal'nych, Nad našej mogiloju spjaščich I ticho, tak ticho, tak sumračno ticho Pod lunoj šelestjaščich.
