I by'lo tak
Language: Russian (Русский)
I by'lo tak, kak budto zhizni zven`ya Uzh by'li porvany'… uspokoen`e Glubokoe… i medlenny'j otliv Vsex dum, vsex sil… YA soznaval, chto zhiv, Lish` po dy'xan`yu trav i poviliki. Vosxod Luny' vstrechali chaek kliki… A ya tonul v xolodnom lunnom sne, V merczayushhej luchistoj glubine, I na menya iz vlazhnoj bezdny' ply'li Dozhdi komet, potoki zvezdnoj py'li…
