by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Olegov shhit
Language: Russian (Русский) 
«Allax! prolej na nas tvoj svet!
Krasa i sila pravoverny'x!
Groza gyaurov licemerny'x!
Prorok tvoj — Magomet!..»

«O nasha krepost` i oplot!
Velikij Bog! vedi nas ny'ne,
Kak nekogda ty' vel v pusty'ne
Svoj izbranny'j narod!..»

Gluxaya polnoch`! Vse molchit!
Vdrug... iz-za tuch luna blesnula
I nad vorotami Stambula
Olegov ozarila shhit.
