Russkaja melodija
Language: Russian (Русский)
V ume svoëm ja sozdal mir inoj I obrazov inych suščestvovan'e; JA cep'ju ich svjazal meždu soboj, JA dal im vid, no ne dal im nazvan'ja; Vdrug zimnich bur' razdalsja groznyj voj, — I rušilos' nevernoe sozdan'e!.. Tak pered prazdnoju tolpoj I s balalajkoju narodnoj Sidit v teni pevec prostoj I beskorystnyj, i svobodnyj!.. On gromkij zvuk vnezapno razdaët, V čest' devy, miloj serdcu i prekrasnoj, — I zvuk vnezapno struny oborvët, I slyšitsja načalo pesni! — no naprasno! — Nikto konca ee ne dopoët!..
