by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Zvuki priboja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak gluch serdityj šum
Vzvolnovannogo Morja!
Kak svod Nebes ugrjum,
Kak b'jutsja tuči, sporja!

O čëm šumit volna,
O čëm protjažno stonet?
I č'ja tam ten' vidna,
I kto tam v More tonet?

Gremit morskoj priboj,
I dolog voj upornyj:
«Idëm, idëm na boj,
Na boj s Zemlëju čërnoj!

Razrušim gran' Zemli,
Pokroem vsë vodoju!
Vnemlí, Zemlja, vnemlí,
Naš krik grozit bedoju!

My vsë zal'ëm, voz'mëm,
Poglótim žadnoj bezdnoj,
Gromadoj voln plesnëm,
Vzberëmsja v mir nadzvezdnyj!»

«Šumi, gremi, priboj!»
I stonut vspleski smecha.
«Idëm, idëm na boj!» —
«Na boj» — grochočet ėcho.

Confirmed with К. Д. Бальмонт, Полное собрание стихов. Том первый. Издание четвертое, М.: Изд. Скорпион, 1914.
