by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

S toboju drevle, o vsesil'nyj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
S toboju drevle, o vsesil'nyj,
Moguchij sostjazat'sja mnil,
Bezumnoj gordost'ju obil'nyj;
No ty, gospod', jego smiril.
Ty rek: ja miru zhizn' daruju,
Ja smert'ju zemlju nakazuju,
Na vsjo pod"jata dlan' moja.
Ja takzhe, rek on, zhizn' daruju,
I takzhe smert'ju nakazuju:
S toboju, bozhe, raven ja.
No smolkla pokhval'ba poroka
Ot slova gneva tvojego:
Pod"emlju solnce ja s vostoka;
S zakata podymi jego!
