Pevica
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ona pojot... i mne sdajotsja, Chto chistykh serafimov khor Vdol' gornikh oblakov nesjotsja, Chto mne ikh slyshen razgovor. Ona pojot... i ja mechtaju, Chto zvukam arfy ne zemnoj, Il' pesnjam peri molodoj Ja v upovanii vnimaju. Ona pojot... i serdcu bol'no, I dushu chto-to shevelit, I skorb' nevnjatnaja tomit, I plakat' khochetsja nevol'no. Ona pojot... i golos milyj, Taja dykhan'e, ja lovlju, I voskhishchajus', i ljublju Jego zvuk tomnyj i unylyj! Ona pojot... i tak umejet I grust' i chuvstvo vyrazhat'. Chto serdcu, kem toska vladejet, Nemudreno jejo ponjat'!
