by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)
Nad nepristupnoj krutiznoju
Language: Russian (Русский)
Nad nepristupnoj krutiznoju Povis tumannyj nebosklon; Tam gor zubchatoju stenoju Ot juga sever otdeljon. Tam noch' i sneg; tam, vrag vesel'ja, Sedoj zimy serdityj bog Igrajet v'jugoj i metel'ju, Jarjas', usta primknul k ushchel'ju I vojet v ikh granitnyj rog. No zdes' blagoukhajut rozy, Bessil'no vikhrem snegovym Sjuda on shljot svoi ugrozy, Cvetushchij bereg nevredim. Nad nim vesna mladaja vejet, I lavr, Dianoju khranim, V luchakh poludnja zelenejet Nad morem vechno golubym.
