Ja potrjasjon, kogda krugom

Ja potrjasjon, kogda krugom
Gudjat lesa, grokhochet gom
I v blesk ognej gljazhu ja snizu,
Kogda, ispugom obujan,
Na skaly mechet okean
Tvoju serebrjanuju rizu.

No prosvetlennyj i nemoj,
Ovejan vlast'ju nezemnoj,
Stoju ne v `etot mig tjazhjolyj,
A v chas, kogda, kak by vo sne,
Tvoj svetlyj angel shepchet mne
Nejizrechennyje glagoly.

Ja zagorajus' i gorju,
Ja poryvajus' i parju,
V tomlen'jakh krajnego usil'ja
I verju serdcem, chto rastut
I totchas v nebo unesut
Menja raskinutyje kryl'ja.
