Razvalinu bashni, zhilishche orla
Language: Russian (Русский)
Razvalinu bashni, zhilishche orla, Sedaja skala vysoko podnjala, I vsja naklonilas' nad bezdnoj morskoj, Kak starec pod noshej jemu dorogoj. I dolgo ta bashnja unylo gljadit V glukhoje ushchel'e, gde veter svistit; I slushajet bashnja, i slyshitsja jej Vesjoloje rzhan'e i topot konej. I smotrit sedaja skala v glubinu, Gde veter kachajet i gonit volnu, I vidit: v obmanchivom bleske volny Shumjat i mel'kajut trofei vojny.
