by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

В пене несется поток
Language: Russian (Русский) 
В пене несется поток,
Ладью обгоняют буруны,
Кормчий глядит на восток
И будит дрожащие струны.

В бурю челнок полетел,
Пусть кормчий погибнет в ней шумно,
Сердце, могучий, он пел —
То сердце, что любит безумно.

Много промчалось веков,
Сменяя знамена и власти,
Много сковали оков
Вседневные мелкие страсти.

Вынырнул снова поток.
Струею серебряной мчало
Только лавровый венок,
Да мчало ее покрывало.
