by Ivan Ivanovich Kozlov (1779 - 1840)

Nochnoj jezdok
Language: Russian (Русский) 
"O kon' moj borzyj, noch' temna;
Kholodnyj veter v pole vejet,
Gorit krovavaja luna,
Sosnovyj bor krugom chernejet!

Ne znaju sam, no tajnyj strakh
Uzh tret'ju noch' menja smushchajet;
Nevol'no slezy na ochakh,
Nevol'no serdce zamirajet.

Mogu l' zabyt': v poslednij raz
Jedva so mnoj ona prostilas',
Kak v belom ten' proshla mezh nas,
Zvezda polnochnaja skatilas'.

Skachi, moj kon', leti skorej!
O, jesli k miloj ja domchusja, -
Togda, kljanus', togda ja s nej
Na mig odin ne razluchusja!"

I kon', kak iz luka strela,
Letit, letit; vdali kladbishche,
I tajna svjato oblegla
Mjatezhnoj zhizni pepelishche.

V kustakh mercajet blesk ognja,
Nesetsja tikho zvuk unylyj;
I putnik brosilsja s konja...
Nad svezheju jejo mogiloj.
