by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)

Iskusstvo
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Srezal sebe ya trostnik u priberezh`ya shumnogo morya.
Nem, on zaby'ty'j lezhal v moej xizhine bednoj.
Raz uvidal ego starecz proxozhij, k nochlegu
V xizhinu k nam zavernuvshij (On by'l neponyaten,
Chuden na nashej gluxoj storone.) On obrezal 
Stvol i otverstij nadelal, k ustam prilozhil ix, 
I ozhivlenny'j trostnik vdrug ispolnilsya zvukom
Chudny'm, kakim ozhivlyalsya poroyu u morya,
Esli vnezapno zefir, zaryabiv ego vody',
Trosti kosnetsya i zvukom napolnit pomor`e.
