Na Strazhe Novyh Let

My, ushedshiye v veka
Rozhdennyye Bogami
Usopnem v ikh rukakh!
I na iskhode dney
Vo chreve sumnykh let
Pokinem mir suyet
Nazad dorogi net!

My – zhivyye vo Yavi
Khranivshiye obet
Na strazhe novykh let

Sred’ bushuyushchikh grez
Da pod zharom ot yada
YA nesu na plechakh
Gruz pudovoy sumy
Zerkala moikh slez
Kak Stozhary-Pleyady
Osveshchayut moy put’
V kolybeli Luny.
Ekhom b’yet ledenyashcheye serdtse
S zhazhdoy rozhdeniya aloy reki:
Kto ne v silakh stoyat’
Tot gotov umirat’ na kreste
Ne vidat’ nam pochesti
Ni bogov, ni praottsov
Ne ubiv “sovershenstvo” i ne vyzhiv
Za grosh v pustote

V izdykhaya srok, slezami bezmolviya
Stanem nad mirom my ten’yu brodit’
Stal’yu zvenyashchey, pronzaya dushi bol’yu
S zhazhdoy pogibeli krovi ispit’!

V kaple na glazakh
Otrazhaya mlechnost’
Ostavlyaya strakh
Ukryvaya stan
Biryuzovym pledom,
My ukhodim v vechnost’
Zabytyye v vekakh!

My poteryany v vekakh
Ostavlennym v rukakh,
Ukhodim vsled za vetrom.

Kapli na litse –
Prozhityye zhizni.
Ten’yu v temnote
Vnov’ svershayem trizny.

Ukryvaya seryy stan
Biryuzovym pledom,
Ne svernuv s puti nazad,
Za Lunoyu sledom,
Ukhodim my za vetrom!

My, zhivyye vo Yavi,
Khranivshiye obet
Na strazhe novykh let.

V kaple na glazakh
Otrazhaya mlechnost’,
Ostavlyaya strakh,
Ukhodim v beskonechnost’.
Zabytyye v vekakh!

My, ushedshiye v veka,
Rozhdennyye Bogami.
I na iskhode dney
Khranivshiye obet,
My zdes’ – na strazhe novykh let.
