Kak ljublju ja, večnye bogi
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kak ljublju ja, večnye bogi, prekrasnyj mir! Kak ljublju ja solnce, trostniki i blesk zelenovatogo morja skvoz' tonkie vetvi akacij! Kak ljublju ja knigi (moich druzej), tišinu odinokogo žilišča i vid iz okna na dal'nie dynnye ogorody! Kak ljublju pestrotu tolpy na ploščadi, kriki, pen'e i solnce, veselyj smech mal'čikov, igrajuščich v mjač! Vozvraščen'e domoj posle veselych progulok, pozdno večerom, pri pervych zvezdach, mimo uže osveščennych gostinic s uže dalekim drugom! Kak ljublju ja, večnye bogi, svetluju pečal', ljubov' do zavtra, smert' bez sožalen'ja o žizni, gde vsë milo, kotoruju ljublju ja, kljanus' Dionisom, vseju siloju serdca i miloj ploti!
