Pustynja

Language: Russian

 Uzhe davno idu ja utomlennyj,
 I na nebe uzh solnce vysoko;
 A negde otdokhnut' v stepi sozhzhennoj,
 I vse jeshchjo do celi daleko.
 Ob"jataja bezmolvijem i len'ju
 Krugom pustynja skuchnaja lezhit...
 Khot' veter by pakhnul! Letuchej ten'ju
 I oblako na mig ne osvezhit.
 Vperjod, vperjod! Za step'ju bezotradnoj
 Zelenyj sad, ja znaju, zhdjot menja;
 Tam ja v teni dushistoj i prokhladnoj
 Najdu prijut ot plamennogo dnja;
 Tam zhizniju ja naslazhdat'sja budu,
 Beseduja s prirodoju zhivoj;
 I otdokhnu, i navsegda zabudu
 Tosku puti, lezhashchego za mnoj...
