Slovno kak lebedi bely'e
Language: Russian (Русский)
Slovno kak lebedi bely'e Dremlyut i ochi somknuli, Tixo kachayas` nad ozerom, - Tak ee chuvstva usnuli... Slovno kak lotosy' nezhny'e, Liki sokry'v voskovy'e, Spyat nad glubokoj puchinoyu, - Grezy' ee molody'e. Vy' prosy'pajtesya, lebedi, Tron`te struyu golubuyu! Vy' raskry'vajte zhe, lotosy', Vashu krasu voskovuyu! V nebe zarya, utro krasnoe... Zdes` ya... i zhdu probuzhden`ya, Svetom lyubvi ozaryaemy'j V tixoj mol`be pesnopen`ya.
