by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Есть речи — значенье
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Есть речи — значенье
Темно иль ничтожно,
Но им без волненья
Внимать невозможно.

Как полны их звуки
Безумством желанья!
В них слезы разлуки,
В них трепет свиданья.

Не встретит ответа
Средь шума мирского
Из пламя и света
Рожденное слово;

Но в храме, средь боя
И где я ни буду,
Услышав, его я
Узнаю повсюду.

Не кончив молитвы,
На звук тот отвечу,
И брошусь из битвы
Ему я навстречу.
