Dva velikana
Language: Russian (Русский)
V shapke zolota litogo Staryj russkij velikan Podzhidal k sebe drugogo Iz dalekikh chuzhdykh stran. Za gorami, za dolami Uzh gremel ob nem rasskaz, I pomerjat'sja glavami Zakhotelos' im khot' raz. I prishel s grozoj vojennoj Trekhnedel'nyj udalec — I rukoju derznovennoj Khvat' za vrazheskij venec. No ulybkoj rokovoju Russkij vitjaz' otvechal; Posmotrel — trjakhnul glavoju... Akhnul derzkij — i upal! No upal on v dal'nem more Na nevedomyj granit, Tam, gde burja na prostore Nad puchinoju shumit.
