K Me`ri
Language: Russian (Русский) after the English
O, Me`ri, moj dalekij drug,
Kak skuchen bez tebya dosug.
Sizhu odin, i v tishine
YA vizhu vzor tvoj; snitsya mne
Uly'bka yasnaya tvoya
I golos - pen`e solov`ya,
Svetlej, chem zhemchug veshnix struj,
Nezhnej, chem pervy'j poceluj.
Vsya ocharovana zemlya,
Czvetut Italii polya,
No ya, toskuya i lyubya,
Tverzhu: mne grustno bez tebya:
Ty' daleko... Pridi ko mne...
Kak mchitsya oblachko k lune,
Kak veter teply'j k moryu l`net,
Kak mrak nochnoj rassveta zhdet, -
K tebe iz t`my' vzy'vayu ya,
Zvezda vechernyaya moya,
Pridi ko mne! Pridi ko mne!
[I]1 e`xo vtorit v tishine:
"Pridi ko mne!.."
