by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Zachem krutitsya vetr v ovrage?
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zachem krutitsya vetr v ovrage?
volnuet step` i py'l` nesyot,
kogda korabl` v nedvizhnoj vlage
ego dy'xan`ya zhadno zhdyot?

Zachem ot gor i mimo bashen
letit oryol, ugryum i strashen,
na pen` gniloj? Sprosi ego.
Zachem arapa svoego

mladaya lyubit Dezdemona,
kak mesyacz lyubit nochi mglu?
Zatem, chto vetru i orlu,
i serdczu devy' net zakona...

Gordis`! Takov i ty', poe`t!
I dlya tebya uslovij net!
