Kon'
Language: Russian (Русский)
«Chto ty rzhjosh', moj kon' retivyj, Chto ty sheju opustil, Ne potrjakhivajesh' grivoj, Ne gryzesh' svoikh udil? Ali ja tebja ne kholju? Ali jesh' ovsa ne vvolju? Ali sbruja ne krasna? Al' povod'ja ne shelkovy, Ne serebrjany podkovy, Ne zlacheny stremena?» Otvechajet kon' pechal'nyj: «Ottogo ja prismirel, Chto ja slyshu topot dal'nyj, Trubnyj zvuk i pen'e strel; Ottogo ja rzhu, chto v pole Uzh ne dolgo mne guljat', Prozhivat' v krase i v khole, Svetloj sbrujej shchegoljat'; Chto uzh skoro vrag surovyj Sbruju vsju moju voz'met I serebrjany podkovy S ljogkikh nog moikh sderet; Ottogo moj dukh i nojet, Chto namesto chapraka Kozhej on tvojej pokrojet Mne vspotevshije boka.»
