Dva velikana
Language: Russian (Русский)
V shapke zolota litogo Stary'j russkij velikan Podzhidal k sebe drugogo Iz dalekix chuzhdy'x stran. Za gorami, za dolami Uzh gremel ob nem rasskaz, I pomeryat`sya glavami Zaxotelos` im xot` raz. I prishel s grozoj voennoj Trexnedel`ny'j udalecz — I rukoyu derznovennoj Xvat` za vrazheskij venecz. No uly'bkoj rokovoyu Russkij vityaz` otvechal; Posmotrel — tryaxnul glavoyu... Axnul derzkij — i upal! No upal on v dal`nem more Na nevedomy'j granit, Tam, gde burya na prostore Nad puchinoyu shumit.
