Pered vecherneyu poroyu
Language: Russian (Русский)
Pered vecherneyu poroyu Sxodil ya v sumerki s gory', I vot peredo mnoj - za mgloyu - Cherty' pechal`ny'e sestry'. Ona idyot nesly'shny'm shagom, Za neyu shevelitsya mgla, I po dolinam, po ovragam Vzdy'xayut grudi bez chisla. Sestra, otkuda v dozhd` i xolod Idyosh` s pechal`noyu tolpoj, Kogo bichami vy'gnal golod V mogily' zhizni kochevoj? Vot podoshla, ostanovilas` I fakel podnyala vo mgle, I tixim svetom ozarilos` Vsyo, chto nezrimo na zemle. I tam, v kanavax pridorozhny'x, Ya, sodrogayas`, razglyadel Cherty' muchenij nevozmozhny'x I korchi oslabevshix tel. I vnov` opushhen fakel dushny'j, I, uly'bayas` [mne]1 proshla - Takoj zhe dy'mnoj i vozdushnoj, Kak okruzhayushhaya mgla. No ya zapomnil e`ti licza I tishinu pusty'x orbit, I obrechyonny'x verenicza Peredo mnoj vsegda stoit.
