by Ivan Ivanovich Kozlov (1779 - 1840)

Nochnoj ezdok
Language: Russian (Русский) 
"O kon` moj borzy'j, noch` temna;
Xolodny'j veter v pole veet,
Gorit krovavaya luna,
Sosnovy'j bor krugom cherneet!

Ne znayu sam, no tajny'j strax
Uzh tret`yu noch` menya smushhaet;
Nevol`no slezy' na ochax,
Nevol`no serdce zamiraet.

Mogu l` zaby't`: v poslednij raz
Edva so mnoj ona prostilas`,
Kak v belom ten` proshla mezh nas,
Zvezda polnochnaya skatilas`.

Skachi, moj kon`, leti skorej!
O, esli k miloj ya domchusya, -
Togda, klyanus`, togda ya s nej
Na mig odin ne razluchusya!"

I kon`, kak iz luka strela,
Letit, letit; vdali kladbishhe,
I tajna svyato oblegla
Myatezhnoj zhizni pepelishhe.

V kustax merczaet blesk ognya,
Nesetsya tixo zvuk uny'ly'j;
I putnik brosilsya s konya...
Nad svezheyu eyo mogiloj.
