by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)

Сеятель знанья на ниву народную!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Сеятель знанья на ниву народную!
Почву ты, что ли, находишь бесплодную,
‎  Худы ль твои семена?
Робок ли сердцем ты? слаб ли ты силами?
Труд награждается всходами хилыми,
‎  Доброго мало зерна!
Где ж вы, умелые, с бодрыми лицами,
Где же вы, с полными жита кошницами?
Труд засевающих робко, крупицами,
‎  Двиньте вперёд!
Сейте разумное, доброе, вечное,
Сейте! Спасибо вам скажет сердечное
‎  Русский народ…
