by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Tak on s monakhami pojet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Tak on s monakhami pojet.
No vot mezh nimi, gost' nezhdannyj,
Nakhmurja brovi, predstajet
Nastavnik staryj Ioanna.
Surovy strogije cherty,
Glavu pod"emlja velichavo:
"Pevec, - on molvit, - tak li ty
Bljudesh' i chtish' moi ustavy?
Kogda pred nami bratnij prakh,
Ne pet', no plakat' nam pristojno!
Izydi, inok nedostojnyj, -
Ne v nashikh zhit' tebe stenakh!"
I, gnevnoj rech'ju porazhennyj,
Vinovnyj pal k jego nogam:
"Prosti, otec! Ne znaju sam,
Kak prestupil tvoi zakony!
Vo mne zvuchal nemolchnyj glas,
V neodolimoj serdca muke
Nevol'no vyrvalisja zvuki,
Nevol'no pesnja polilas'!"
I nogi starca on ob"emlet:
"Prosti vinu moju, otec!"
No tot raskajan'ju ne vnemlet,
On govorit: "Begi, pevec!
Dosel' zhitejskaja gordynja
Jeshche zhiva v tvojej grudi -
Ot nashikh kelij otojdi,
Ne oskvernjaj soboj pustyni!"
