by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)
Nad nepristupnoj krutiznoju
Language: Russian (Русский)
Nad nepristupnoj krutiznoju Povis tumannyj nebosklon; Tam gor zubčatoju stenoju Ot juga sever otdelën. Tam noč' i sneg; tam, vrag vesel'ja, Sedoj zimy serdityj bog Igraet v'jugoj i metel'ju, Jarjas', usta primknul k uščel'ju I voet v ich granitnyj rog. No zdes' blagouchajut rozy, Bessil'no vichrem snegovym Sjuda on šlët svoi ugrozy, Cvetuščij bereg nevredim. Nad nim vesna mladaja veet, I lavr, Dianoju chranim, V lučach poludnja zeleneet Nad morem večno golubym.
