Tjazhjol nash put', tvoj bednyj mul

Tjazhjol nash put', tvoj bednyj mul
Ustal toptat' ternovnik zlobnyj;
Vzgljani naverkh: to ne aul,
Gnezdu orlinomu podobnyj;
To celyj gorod; smolknul gul
Narodnykh prazdnestv i torgovli,
I veter tlenija podul
Na Bogom prokljatye krovli.
Vo dni glubokoj stariny
(Glasjat narodnye skrizhali),
Vo dni nevoli i pechali,
Sjuda Izrailja syny
Ot iga chuzhdogo bezhali,
I grad voznik na vysjakh gor.
Zabyv otcov svoikh pozor
I gor'kij plen Jerusalima,
Zdes' mirno zhili karaimy;
No zhdal ikh davnij prigovor,
I pala tjazhest' Bozh'ja gneva
Na vetv' karajemogo dreva.
I gorod vymer. Zdes' i tam
Ostatki bashen po stenam,
Krivye ulicy, kladbishcha,
Peshchery, rytye v skalakh,
Davno bezljudnye zhilishcha,
Oblomki, kamni, pyl' i prakh,
Gde vzor otrady ne nakhodit;
Dve-tri sem'i kak teni brodjat
Sred' golykh sten; no dorogi
Dlja nikh rodnye ochagi,
I khram otcov, ot mokha chjornyj,
Nad koim plavnye krugi,
Parja, chertit orjol nagornyj…
