Pered večerneju poroju
Language: Russian (Русский)
Pered večerneju poroju Schodil ja v sumerki s gory, I vot peredo mnoj - za mgloju - Čerty pečal'nye sestry. Ona idët neslyšnym šagom, Za neju ševelitsja mgla, I po dolinam, po ovragam Vzdychajut grudi bez čisla. Sestra, otkuda v dožd' i cholod Idëš' s pečal'noju tolpoj, Kogo bičami vygnal golod V mogily žizni kočevoj? Vot podošla, ostanovilas' I fakel podnjala vo mgle, I tichim svetom ozarilos' Vsë, čto nezrimo na zemle. I tam, v kanavach pridorožnych, Ja, sodrogajas', razgljadel Čerty mučenij nevozmožnych I korči oslabevšich tel. I vnov' opuščen fakel dušnyj, I, ulybajas' [mne]1 prošla - Takoj že dymnoj i vozdušnoj, Kak okružajuščaja mgla. No ja zapomnil ėti lica I tišinu pustych orbit, I obrečënnych verenica Peredo mnoj vsegda stoit.
