Спускается солнце за степи, Вдали золотится ковыль, -- Колодников [звонкия]1 цепи Взметают дорожную пыль. Идут они с бритыми лбами, Шагают вперёд тяжело, Угрюмыя сдвинули брови, На сердце раздумье легло. Идут с ними [длинныя]2 тени, Две клячи телегу везут, Лениво сгибая колени, Конвойные с ними идут. ,,Что, братцы, затянемте песню, Забудем лихую беду! Уж, видно, такая невзгода Написана нам на роду!`` И вот повели, затянули, Поют, заливаясь, они Про Волги широкой раздолье, Про даром минувшие дни; Поют про [свободныя]3 степи, Про дикую волю поют. День меркнет все боле, -- а цепи Дорогу метут, да метут.
