Dismantled the wreaths into brooms,
|
We got sad for half an hour ...
|
How proud we are, contemporaries,
|
That he died in his bed!
|
And labukhs tormented Chopin,
|
And there was a solemn farewell...
|
He did not wash the loops in Yelabuga
|
And I did not go crazy in Suchan!
|
Even Kyiv scribes
|
They were in time for his wake.
|
How proud we are, contemporaries,
|
That he died in his bed!..
|
And not that with something over forty -
|
Exactly seventy, the age of death.
|
And not just some stepson -
|
Member of the Literary Fund, the deceased estimate!
|
Ah, the paws of the Christmas tree crumbled,
|
His blizzards rang...
|
What are we proud of, bastards,
|
That he died in his bed!
|
“It's snowy, it's snowy all over the earth to all limits.
|
The candle was burning on the table, the candle was burning ... "
|
No, not a candle -
|
The chandelier was on fire!
|
Glasses on the muzzle of the executioner
|
They sparkled brightly!
|
And the hall was yawning, and the hall was bored -
|
Meli, Emelya!
|
After all, not to prison and not to Suchan,
|
Not to the highest degree!
|
And not to the crown of thorns
|
wheeling,
|
And like a log in the face -
|
Vote!
|
And someone, drunk, asked:
|
- For what? |
Who is there?
|
And someone ate, and someone neighed
|
Over the joke...
|
We won't forget this laugh
|
And this boredom!
|
We are by name! |
- let's remember everyone
|
Who raised their hand!
|
"The hum is quiet. |
I went out to the stage.
|
Leaning against the doorframe…”
|
So slander and disputes have ceased,
|
As if taking a day off from eternity...
|
And marauders stood over the coffin
|
And they carry an honorary ka-ra-ul! |
