by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Bestuzhev-Marlinsky (1797 - 1837)

На Казбек
Language: Russian (Русский) 
На Казбек слетелись тучи,
Словно горные орлы...
Им навстречу, на скалы
Узденей отряд летучий
Выше, выше, круче, круче
Скачет, русскими разбит:
След их кровью кипит.

На хвостах полки погони;
Занесен и штык, и меч;
Смертью сеётся картечь...
Нет спасенья в силе, в броне...
ъБегу, бегу, кони, кони!ъ
Пали вы, - а далека
Крепость горного леска!ъ

Сердце наших - русских мета...
На колена пал мулла -
И молитва, как стрела,
До пророка Магомета,
В море света, в небо света,
Полетела, понеслась:
ъИль-Алла, не выдай нас!ъ

Нет спасенья ниоткуда!
Вдруг, по манию небес,
Зашумел далекий лес:
Веёт, плещет, катит грудой,
Ниже, ближе, чудо, чудо!..
Мусульмане спасены
Средь лесистой крутизны!
