Dub
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na polyane lesnoj ispolin vekovoj
odinoko spit,
v murave molodoj na polyane lesnoj
drevnij dub stoit.

Mnogo vesen i zim otshumelo nad nim,
on i xmur i sed;
no stoit nevredim vsem dubam molody'm
stary'j, stary'j ded.

Mnogo videl on slez i nevzgod perenes
v dni by'ly'x godin,
no ot vetra i groz, kak granitny'j utes,
on ne pal odin.

Zeleneyushhij vsxod na polyane czvetet...
Tol`ko on ponik.
Ot vesny' on ne zhdet ni utex, ni zabot:
glux i nem starik.

Mezh sosedej svoix on ne vidit rodny'x.
Pust` shumit vesna!
On naveki zatix, snovidenij by'ly'x
ego grust` polna.

On grustit o lesax, gde v zeleny'x shatrax
by'l on - gordy'j czar`,
o moguchix dubax, da o tex solov`yax,
chto pevali vstar`...

Na polyane lesnoj ispolin vekovoj
smotrit v chuzhdy'j bor.
On ponik golovoj, i grozy' rokovoj
zhdet on s davnix por.
