Vodopad
Language: Russian (Русский)
Tam, kak srazhenny'j Titan, prostersya Mezhdu skalami Obrosshij moxom Sedoj granit I zaper propast`; No s dikoj strast`yu Stremitsya v bezdnu Cherez prepony' Potok gremuchij I mechet zhemchug Shipuchej peny' Na cherny'j breg. Smotri, kak by'stro Nesetsya vetka K kipuchej bezdne, Kak strujka sil`no Ee kidaet S prozrachnoj meli Na ostry'j kamen`. — Mel`knula! — Polno! Iz chernoj bezdny' Vozvrata net. Slezhu glazami Za by'stry'm tokom. Kak prismirel on Tam, v otdalen`i; Kak budto nebo V nem xochet videt` Svoyu krasu. Smotri: ta vetka, Chto tam ischezla V puchine lyutoj, Ply'vet tak tixo, Tak bezmyatezhno Po vechnoj vlage.
