by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Холодный ветер от лагуны
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Холодный ветер от лагуны.
Гондол безмолвные гроба.
Я в эту ночь — больной и юный —
Простерт у львиного столба.

На башне, с песнию чугунной,
Гиганты бьют полночный час.
Марк утопил в лагуне лунной
Узорный свой иконостас.

В тени дворцовой галлереи,
Чуть озаренная луной,
Таясь, проходит Саломея
С моей кровавой головой.

Всё спит — дворцы, каналы, люди,
Лишь призрака скользящий шаг,
Лишь голова на черном блюде
Глядит с тоской в окрестный мрак.
