I bylo tak
Language: Russian (Русский)
I bylo tak, kak budto zhizni zven'ja Uzh byli porvany… uspokojen'e Glubokoje… i medlennyj otliv Vsekh dum, vsekh sil… Ja soznaval, chto zhiv, Lish' po dykhan'ju trav i poviliki. Voskhod Luny vstrechali chajek kliki… A ja tonul v kholodnom lunnom sne, V mercajushchej luchistoj glubine, I na menja iz vlazhnoj bezdny plyli Dozhdi komet, potoki zvezdnoj pyli…
