by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)

Ну уж ночка! Воздух жгучий
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ну уж ночка! Воздух жгучий
Не шелохнется! Кругом
Жарко вспыхивают тучи
Синей молнии огнём.

Словно смотр в воздушном стане
Духам тьмы назначен! Миг —
И помчится в урагане
По рядам владыка их!

То-то грянет канонада —
Огнь и гром, и дождь и град,
И по степи силы ада
С диким свистом полетят!..

Нет, при этаком невзгодье,
В этом мраке, предоставь
Всё коню! Отдай поводья
И не умничай, не правь:

Ровно, ровно, верным шагом,
Не мечася как шальной,
По равнинам, по оврагам
Он примчит тебя домой...
