Slova smolkali
Language: Russian (Русский)
Slova smolkali na ustax, mel`kal smy'chok, ry'dala skripka, i voznikala v dvux serdczax bezumno svetlaya oshibka. I vzory' zhadny'e slilis` v mechte, kotoroj net nazvan`ya, i nit`yu zy'bkoyu splelis`, tomyas` i ne strashas` priznan`ya. Sredi tolpy', sredi ognej lyubov` rosla i vozrastala, i skripka, tochno slivshis` s nej, drozhala, pela i ry'dala.
