by Konstantin Mikhailovich Fofanov (1862 - 1911)
Byl vecher blednyj i syroj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Byl vecher blednyj i syroj. Derev'ja v dremotnoj pechali Listy poslednije ronjali, I polumesjac zolotoj Mezh oblakov kudrjavykh mirno, Kak cheln, skol'zil vo mgle `efirnoj. Cvetov obvetrivshikhsja khor Sledil v agonii za tuchej, - I prinimal ikh robkij vzor Paduchij list za meteor I meteor - za list paduchij! Ja byl odin v tishi allej, I v tajnike dushi mojej, Kazalos', junost' umirala; Ona proshchalasja so mnoj I umirajushchej zarej Menja teplo blagoslovljala. Poslednikh lask, poslednikh neg Ja ot neje prosil, rydaja, Kak pervobytnyj chelovek U vrat poterjannogo raja.
