Tuman vstayot na dne stremnin
Language: Russian (Русский)
Tuman vstayot na dne stremnin, Sredi polunochnoj proxlady' Sil`nee paxnet dikij tmin, Gremyat sly'shnee vodopady'. Kak oslepitel`na luna! Kak gor ochercheny' vershiny'! V srebristom sumrake vidna Vnizu Bajdarskaya dolina. Nad nami svetyat nebesa, Cherneet bezdna pered nami, Drozhit blestyashhaya rosa Na list`yax krupny'mi slezami… Dushe legko. Ne sly'shu ya Okov zemnogo by'tiya, Net mesta straxu, ni nadezhde,— Chto budet vpred`, chto by'lo prezhde — Mne vsyo ravno — i chto menya Vsegda kak cep` k zemle tyanulo, Ischezlo vsyo s trevogoj dnya, Vsyo v lunnom bleske potonulo… Kuda zhe my'sl` unesena? Chto ej tak viditsya dremlivo? Ne sred` volshebnogo li sna My' edem vmeste vdol` obry'va? Ty' l` e`to, robosti polna, Ko mne sklonilas` molchalivo? Uzhel` ya vizhu ne vo sne, Kak zvyozdy' bleshhut v vy'shine, Kak kon` stupaet ostorozhno, Kak dy'shit grud` tvoya trevozhno? Il` pri obmanchivoj lune Menya lish` draznit prizrak lozhny'j I e`to son? O, esli b mne Prosnut`sya by'lo nevozmozhno!
