by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Мне бой знаком — люблю я звук мечей
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Мне бой знаком — люблю [я звук]1 мечей:
От первых лет поклонник бранной славы,
Люблю войны кровавые забавы,
И смерти мысль мила душе моей.
Во цвете лет свободы верный воин,
Перед собой кто смерти не видал,
Тот полного веселья не вкушал
И милых жен лобзаний не достоин.
