Alexander Vertinsky. (№ 379252)

Blue and distant ocean,
Somewhere near Tierra del Fuego,
Float in the lilac mist
Dead gray ships.
They are blind captains
Somewhere sunken long ago.
In the morning they silent caravans
Quietly sink to the bottom.
Waiting for them the ocean in my arms
Wave their welcome, ringing.
Terrible their impotent curses
The sun of the coming day...
