Starye pisma
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja ljublju ustalyj šelest Starych pisem, dal'nich slov… V nich est' zapach, v nich est' prelest' Umirajuščich cvetov. JA ljublju uzornyj počerk — V nëm est' šoroch trav suchich. Bystrych bukv znakomyj očerk Ticho šepčet grustnyj stich. Mne tak blizko obajan'e Ich ustaloj krasoty… Ėto dereva Poznan'ja Obletevšie cvety.
