проплывает предо мной,
Весь змеиный, весь узорный, вырезной.
И воистину влечёт меня в игру
Настоящими прыжками кенгуру.
И в хранимом зачарованном прудке
Светят лотосы во влажном цветнике.
Голубеет эвкалипта стройный ствол,
Куст невиданной акации расцвёл.

И хохочут зимородки по ветвям,
Словно в сказке, что сказали в детстве нам.
Только всё это лишь малый уголок –
Громче пенья птиц на фабрике гудок.

Вся сгорела между дымов и огней.
И от города до города всегда
Воют, копоть рассевая поезда.
К. Бальмонт
