by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Tyazhyol nash put`, tvoj bedny'j mul
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Tyazhyol nash put`, tvoj bedny'j mul
Ustal toptat` ternovnik zlobny'j;
Vzglyani naverx: to ne aul,
Gnezdu orlinomu podobny'j;
To cely'j gorod; smolknul gul
Narodny'x prazdnestv i torgovli,
I veter tleniya podul
Na Bogom proklyaty'e krovli.
Vo dni glubokoj stariny'
(Glasyat narodny'e skrizhali),
Vo dni nevoli i pechali,
Syuda Izrailya sy'ny'
Ot iga chuzhdogo bezhali,
I grad voznik na vy'syax gor.
Zaby'v otczov svoix pozor
I gor`kij plen Erusalima,
Zdes` mirno zhili karaimy';
No zhdal ix davnij prigovor,
I pala tyazhest` Bozh`ya gneva
Na vetv` karaemogo dreva.
I gorod vy'mer. Zdes` i tam
Ostatki bashen po stenam,
Krivy'e ulicy', kladbishha,
Peshhery', ry'ty'e v skalax,
Davno bezlyudny'e zhilishha,
Oblomki, kamni, py'l` i prax,
Gde vzor otrady' ne naxodit;
Dve-tri sem`i kak teni brodyat
Sred` goly'x sten; no dorogi
Dlya nix rodny'e ochagi,
I xram otczov, ot moxa chyorny'j,
Nad koim plavny'e krugi,
Parya, chertit oryol nagorny'j…
