by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Cherkeshenka
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja videl vas: kholmy i nivy, Raznoobraznykh gor kusty, Prirody dikoj krasoty, Stepej glukhikh narod schastlivyj I nravy tikhoj prostoty! No tam, gde Terek protekajet, Cherkeshenku ja uvidal, - Vzor devy serdce prikoval; I mysl' nevol'no uletajet Brodit' sred' milykh, dal'nikh skal... Tak dukh raskajanija, zvuki Poslyshav rajskije, letit Uzret' jeshchjo nebesnyj vid; Tak ston ljubvi, strastej i muki Do groba v pamjati zvuchit.
