Razvalinu bashni, zhilishhe orla
Language: Russian (Русский)
Razvalinu bashni, zhilishhe orla, Sedaya skala vy'soko podnyala, I vsya naklonilas` nad bezdnoj morskoj, Kak starecz pod noshej emu dorogoj. I dolgo ta bashnya uny'lo glyadit V gluxoe ushhel`e, gde veter svistit; I slushaet bashnya, i sly'shitsya ej Vesyoloe rzhan`e i topot konej. I smotrit sedaya skala v glubinu, Gde veter kachaet i gonit volnu, I vidit: v obmanchivom bleske volny' Shumyat i mel`kayut trofei vojny'.
