He appeared on a slender ball
In the closed circle of brilliant.
Outbreaks zloveshtie flashes,
And look an arc.
All night swirled in a noisy dance,
Throughout the night the walls of compressed circle.
And at the dawn - in the window gloss
Silent had a friend.
He got up, and looked up owl,
And look - closer - one,
Where pale for Columbine
Beja zvenyashtiy Harlequin.
And there - in the corner - under the icons,
In crowd, restless brightly,
Turning the eyes of a child,
Shivering deceived by Pierrot.
