by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)
Temnota i tuman zastilayut mne put`
Language: Russian (Русский)
Temnota i tuman zastilayut mne put`, Noch` na zemlyu vsyo gushhe lozhitsya, No ya veryu, ya znayu: zhivyot gde-nibud`, Gde-nibud` da zhivyot czar`-devicza! Kak dostich` do neyo — ne ishhi, ne gadaj, Tut raschyot nikakoj ne pomozhet, Ni dogadka, ni um, no bezum`e v tot kraj, No udacha prinest` tebya mozhet! YA ne zhdal, ne gadal, v temnote poskakal V tu stranu, kuda netu dorogi, YA konya raznuzdal, naudachu pognal I v boka emu vtisnul ostrogi!
