Ja zhalobnoj rukoj szhimaju svoj kostyl'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja zhalobnoj rukoj szhimaju svoj kostyl'. Moj drug — vljublen v lunu — zhivet jejo obmanom. Vot — tretij na puti. O, milyj drug moj, ty l' V izmjatom kartuze nad vzorom olovjannym? I — troje my bredem. Lezhit plastami pyl'. Vsjo pusto — zdes' i tam — pod znojem neustannym. Zabory — kak groba. V kanavakh prejet gnil'. Vsjo, vsjo pogrebeno v bezljud'i okajannom. Stuchim. Pechal' v domakh. Pokojniki v grobakh. My robko shepchem v dver': «Ne umer — spit vash blizkij...» No staraja, v chepce, namorshchiv lob svoj nizkij, Krichit: «Stupajte proch'! Ne oskorbljajte prakh!» I dal'she my bredem. I vidim v shcheli zdanij Starinnuju igru vechernikh sodroganij.
