by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Узник
Language: Russian (Русский)
Сижу за решёткой в темнице сырой. Вскормлённый в неволе орёл молодой, Мой грустный товарищ, махая крылом, Кровавую пищу клюет под окном. Клюёт и бросает, и смотрит в окно, Как будто со мною задумал одно, Зовёт меня взглядом и криком своим И вымолвить хочет: ,,Давай улетим! Мы вольные птицы; Пора, брат, пора! Туда, где за тучей белеет гора, Туда, где синеют морские края, Туда, где гуляем лишь ветер... да я!``
