Pered vecherneju poroju
Language: Russian (Русский)
Pered vecherneju poroju Skhodil ja v sumerki s gory, I vot peredo mnoj - za mgloju - Cherty pechal'nye sestry. Ona idjot neslyshnym shagom, Za neju shevelitsja mgla, I po dolinam, po ovragam Vzdykhajut grudi bez chisla. Sestra, otkuda v dozhd' i kholod Idjosh' s pechal'noju tolpoj, Kogo bichami vygnal golod V mogily zhizni kochevoj? Vot podoshla, ostanovilas' I fakel podnjala vo mgle, I tikhim svetom ozarilos' Vsjo, chto nezrimo na zemle. I tam, v kanavakh pridorozhnykh, Ja, sodrogajas', razgljadel Cherty muchenij nevozmozhnykh I korchi oslabevshikh tel. I vnov' opushchen fakel dushnyj, I, ulybajas' [mne]1 proshla - Takoj zhe dymnoj i vozdushnoj, Kak okruzhajushchaja mgla. No ja zapomnil `eti lica I tishinu pustykh orbit, I obrechjonnykh verenica Peredo mnoj vsegda stoit.
