Vecher

Language: Russian


 Solnce utomilos', khodja den'-den'skoj;
 Tikho dogoraja, gasnet za rekoj.
 Kraj daljokij neba ves' zarej oblit,
 Zarevom pozhara bleshchet i gorit.

 V vozdukhe smolkajet shum dnevnykh trevog;
 Tish' nochnuju s neba shljot na zemlju bog.
 Khodjat ognevyje polosy v reke;
 Grustno gde-to pesnja l'jotsja vdaleke.

 Tikho... Otchego zhe v serdce u menja
 Ne stikhajet gore prozhitogo dnja?
 Otchego zh tak bol'no skorb' szhimajet grud'?
 Bozhe moj! bozhe moj! daj mne otdokhnut'!
