Vodopad
Language: Russian (Русский)
Tam, kak srazhennyj Titan, prostersja Mezhdu skalami Obrosshij mokhom Sedoj granit I zaper propast'; No s dikoj strast'ju Stremitsja v bezdnu Cherez prepony Potok gremuchij I mechet zhemchug Shipuchej peny Na chernyj breg. Smotri, kak bystro Nesetsja vetka K kipuchej bezdne, Kak strujka sil'no Jee kidajet S prozrachnoj meli Na ostryj kamen'. — Mel'knula! — Polno! Iz chernoj bezdny Vozvrata net. Slezhu glazami Za bystrym tokom. Kak prismirel on Tam, v otdalen'i; Kak budto nebo V nem khochet videt' Svoju krasu. Smotri: ta vetka, Chto tam ischezla V puchine ljutoj, Plyvet tak tikho, Tak bezmjatezhno Po vechnoj vlage.
