Sirena
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vo vzore tvoyom tochno b`yotsya volna: Siyaet v nyom laska, v nyom dy'shit izmena. Takoyu zhe laskoj kovarnoj polna I vzorom takim zhe — plenyala sirena! Kogda ona golosom nezhny'm plovczov Manila v ob``yatiya bezdny' pusty'nnoj, — Tot golos by'l tvoj — polny'j laskovy'x slov, Drozhashhij lyubov`yu i detski-nevinny'j! I v mig, kogda v bezdne korabl` pogibal, Kogda nad tonuvshimi ískrilas` pena, — Tvoj smex obol`stitel`no-nezhny'j zvuchal, Tvoeyu uly'bkoj smeyalas` sirena!
