by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

У моря ночью
Language: Russian (Русский) 
У моря ночью, у моря ночью
Темно и страшно. Хрустит песок.
О, как мне больно у моря ночью.
Есть где-то счастье. Но путь далёк.

Я вижу звезды. Одна мне светит,
Других светлее и всех нежней.
Но если сердце ее отметит, -
Она далёко, не быть мне с ней.

Я умираю у моря ночью,
Песок затянет, зальет волна.
У моря ночью, у моря ночью
Меня полюбит лишь Смерть одна.
