by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Kon'
Language: Russian (Русский)
«Čto ty ržëš', moj kon' retivyj, Čto ty šeju opustil, Ne potrjachivaeš' grivoj, Ne gryzeš' svoich udil? Ali ja tebja ne cholju? Ali eš' ovsa ne vvolju? Ali sbruja ne krasna? Al' povod'ja ne šelkovy, Ne serebrjany podkovy, Ne zlačeny stremena?» Otvečaet kon' pečal'nyj: «Ottogo ja prismirel, Čto ja slyšu topot dal'nyj, Trubnyj zvuk i pen'e strel; Ottogo ja ržu, čto v pole Už ne dolgo mne guljat', Proživat' v krase i v chole, Svetloj sbruej ščegoljat'; Čto už skoro vrag surovyj Sbruju vsju moju voz'met I serebrjany podkovy S lëgkich nog moich sderet; Ottogo moj duch i noet, Čto namesto čapraka Kožej on tvoej pokroet Mne vspotevšie boka.»
