Kak khoroshi, kak svezhi byli rozy
Language:
Russian
Gde-to, kogda-to, davno-davno tomu nazad,
ja prochel odno stikhotvorenie.
Ono skoro pozabylos' mnoju...
no pervyj stikh ostalsja u menja v pamjati:
Kak khoroshi, kak svezhi byli rozy...
Teper' zima; moroz zapushil stekla okon;
v temnoj komnate gorit odna svecha.
Ja sizhu, zabivshis' v ugol;
a v golove vsjo zvenit da zvenit:
Kak khoroshi, kak svezhi byli rozy...
I vizhu ja sebja pered nizkim oknom
zagorodnogo russkogo doma.
Letnij vecher tikho tajet i perekhodit v noch',
v teplom vozdukhe pakhnet rezedoj i lipoj;
a na okne, opershis' na vyprjamlennuju ruku
i skloniv golovu k plechu, sidit devushka --
i bezmolvno i pristal'no smotrit na nebo,
kak by vyzhidaja pojavlenija pervykh zvjozd.
Kak prostodushno-vdokhnovenny zadumchivye glaza,
kak trogatel'no-nevinny raskrytye, voproshajushchie guby,
kak rovno dyshit jeshchjo ne vpolne rascvetshaja,
jeshchjo nichem ne vzvolnovannaja grud',
kak chist i nezhen oblik junogo lica!
Ja ne derzaju zagovorit' s neju --
no kak ona mne doroga, kak b'jotsja mojo serdce!
Kak khoroshi, kak svezhi byli rozy...
A v komnate vsjo temnej da temnej...
Nagorevshaja svecha treshchit,
beglye teni kolebljutsja na nizkom potolke,
moroz skrypit i zlitsja za stenoju --
i chuditsja skuchnyj, starcheskij shjopot...
Kak khoroshi, kak svezhi byli rozy...
Vstajut peredo mnoju drugije obrazy...
Slyshitsja vesjolyj shum semejnoj derevenskoj zhizni.
Dve rusye golovki, prislonjas' drug k druzhke,
bojko smotrjat na menja svoimi svetlymi glazkami,
alye shchjoki trepeshchut sderzhannym smekhom,
ruki laskovo splelis', vperebivku zvuchat molodye,
dobrye golosa; a nemnogo podal'she,
v glubine ujutnoj komnaty, drugije,
tozhe molodye ruki begajut,
putajas' pal'cami, po klavisham staren'kogo pianino --
i lannerovskij val's ne mozhet zaglushit'
vorkotnju patriarkhal'nogo samovara...
Kak khoroshi, kak svezhi byli rozy...
Svecha merknet i gasnet...
Kto `eto kashljajet tam tak khriplo i glukho?
Svernuvshis' v kalachik, zhmjotsja i vzdragivajet
u nog moikh staryj pes, moj edinstvennyj tovarishch...
Mne kholodno...
Ja zjabnu...
I vse oni umerli... umerli...
Kak khoroshi, kak svezhi byli rozy...
