Otchego dusha tak pevucha

Language: Russian

Otchego dusha tak pevucha,
I tak malo milykh imen,
I mgnovennyj ritm – tol'ko sluchaj,
Neozhidannyj Akvilon?

On podymet oblako pyli,
Zashumit bumazhnoj listvoj
I sovsem ne vernetsja – ili
On vernetsja sovsem drugoj.

O, shirokij veter Orfeja,
Ty ujdesh' v morskie kraja
I, nesozdannyj mir leleja,
Ja zabyl nenuzhnoe «ja».

Ja bluzhdal v igrushechnoj chashche
I otkryl lazorevyj grot...
Neuzheli ja nastojashchij
I dejstvitel'no smert' pridjot?
