by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)
V noč', kogda usnët trevoga
Language: Russian (Русский)
V noč', kogda usnët trevoga I gorod skroetsja vo mgle, O, skol'ko muzyki u boga, Kakie zvuki na zemle! Čto burja žizni, Esli rozy tvoi cvetut mne i gorjat! Čto čelovečeskie slëzy, Kogda rumjanitsja zakat! Primi, Vladyčica vselennoj, Skvoz' krov', skvoz' muki, skvoz' groba Poslednej strasti kubok pennyj Ot nedostojnogo raba.
