Ревёт ли зверь в лесу глухом

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: FRE

Ревёт ли зверь в лесу глухом,
Трубит ли рог, гремит ли гром,
Поёт ли дева за холмом -
  На всякий звук
Свой отклик в воздухе пустом
  Родишь ты вдруг.

Ты внемлешь грохоту громов,
И гласу бури и валов,
И крику сельских пастухов -
  И шлешь ответ;
Тебе ж нет отзыва... Таков
  И ты, поэт!
