by Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva (1892 - 1941)
Руки люблю/ Целовать, и люблю
Language: Russian (Русский)
Руки люблю Целовать, и люблю Имена раздавать, И еще – раскрывать Двери! – Настежь – в темную ночь! Голову сжав, Слушать, как тяжкий шаг Где-то легчает, Как ветер качает Сонный, бессонный Лес. Ах, ночь! Где-то бегут ключи, Ко сну – клонит. Сплю почти Где-то в ночи Человек тонет.
