Slabejet zhizni gul upornyj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Slabejet zhizni gul upornyj, Ukhodit vspjat' priliv zabot. I nekij vetr skvoz' barkhat chernyj O zhizni budushchej pojot. Ochnus' li ja v drugoj otchizne, Ne v `etoj sumrachnoj strane? I pamjat'ju ob `etoj zhizni Vzdokhnu l' kogda-nibud' vo sne? Kto dast mne zhizn'? Potomok dozha, Kupec, rybak, il' ijerej V grjadushchem mrake delit lozhe S grjadushchej mater'ju mojej? Byt' mozhet, venecejskoj devy Kanconoj nezhnoj slukh plenja, Otec grjadushchij skvoz' napevy Uzhe predchuvstvujet menja? I neuzhel' v grjadushchem veke Mladencu mne — velit sud'ba Vpervye drognuvshije veki Otkryt' u l'vinogo stolba? Mat', chtó pojut glukhije struny? Uzh ty mechtajesh', mozhet byt', Menja ot vetra, ot laguny Svjashchennoj shal'ju ogradit'? Net! Vsjo, chto jest', chto bylo,— zhivo! Mechty, viden'ja, dumy — proch'! Volna vozvratnogo priliva Brosajet v barkhatnuju noch'!
