***
The girl sang in the choir
Of all the weary in a strange land,
On all ships, gone to sea,
About all those who have forgotten the joy of their own.
[SPOILER]
So he sang, her voice, flying in a dome
And the beam shone on the white shoulder
And each of darkness watched and listened to
As a white dress singing in the beam.

And everyone seemed to be happy,
What's in a quiet backwater all ships
What a strange land weary people
Bright found himself living.

Her voice was sweet, and the beam was thin,
And only high in the King's Gate
Communion Mysteries - cry baby
The fact that no one will come back.

***

Born in the year, the deaf
Paths do not remember her.
We - kids Russia's terrible years -
Can not forget anything.

Sizzling years!
Madness in you eh, eh hope the news?
From the days of the war, from the days of freedom -
Blood in the glow of faces.

There are dumb - that buzz alarm bell
Got conceals the mouth.
In our hearts, once enthusiastic,
There is a fatal void.

And let the mortals on our bed
Will rise to the cry of a crow, -
Those who are worthy, O God, my God,
Yes, behold the kingdom of yours!

***

I cut a stick of oak
Under the gentle whisper of the blizzard.
Clothes are poor and rude,
Oh, how unworthy a friend!

But I find, and the beggar, the road
Come on, frosty sun!
Probrozhu all day, for God's sake,
In the evening knock in the window ...

And will the white hand
A secret door in front of me
Young, with gold braid,
With a clear and open soul.

Moon and stars in braids ...
"Come in, my prince Privetnoye ..."
And poor oak staff
Shine teardrop semiprecious ...

And I really love this poem is the Bloc ...

Again, I go over this desert plain.
The heart of the deaf has no power to escape doubt .
What I loved in thy beauty 's swan -
Eternally perfect, but the heart miserably.

I do not deny that cry when I worship ,
Again, going beyond the boundary of human speech,
I am silent, and in tears at you smile:
Seeing the heart - and new appointments .

Again, the sky darkened , and will be foul weather .
Heart in love no place to hide from the pain.
So happy and scared that happiness will end .
And the free fear of captivity.

And I like it here , especially the beginning - is picturesque : the summer , the "green water" ships "four gray ." :)>

Do you remember? In our sleepy bay
Slept green water,
When the wake column
Entered the military court.
 
Four - gray . And the questions
We were worried about an hour ,
And sunburnt sailors
There were important to pass us .
 

I remember how shocked my teacher and Russian literature (in whose lectures in journalism at Moscow State University place was not):


"The storm has passed, and a branch of white roses

Through the window I breathe fragrance ...

Even the grass is full of transparent tears

And the thunder rumbling in the distance peal. "
