By night went down from the heaven To watch a human life below, To give the lire back forever, The genius, longing all to know. He was conceited, selfish, cold, Ignoble, cynical as well And he was banished from the world – He heard the sound of the bell. But having seen a certain man, He didn't find his wit. "You… nothing can… Oh, this reward will be for me sunlit!" He wanted only one – To prove the human weakness and… And the creator will be for The talent beforehand. - What can you tell? – the genius asked, Repeating twice the same. - What could you do forever to Immortalize your name? I see you smile, so I will say, I know, you weren't brave. You don't shine as a star, Your fate – to be eternal slave. What can you show? Your silence proves That, people, you are weak. Why did you bring the godlike sense And in the Bible? Speak! It's the mistake to talk to you, My splendiferous speech Is hard to live a simple life, Especially for each. But suddenly the man woke up And with the proud look His words revolted in the soul: They flashed to bring to book. - I know the force, which always rules, I know, what gives the fame, I feel, who paves the way for me, But breaks it all the same. Oh, we belong to our God, I must say in reply. And I'm the genius of the sun, But you are only mine! |
