Dva sokola
Language: Russian (Русский)
Step', sineja, rasstilalas' Bliz Azovskich beregov. Zapad gas, i noč' spuskalas'; Vichr' skol'zil meždu cholmov. I, trjachnuvšis', v pole dikom Seryj sokol ticho sel, I k nemu s otvetnym krikom Brat streloju priletel. «Bratec, bratec, čto ty videl? Rasskaži mne poskorej». — «Ach, ja svet voznenavidel I bezžalostnych ljudej». — «Čto ž ty videl tam chudogo?» — «Kuču kamennych serdec: Deve smech toska milógo, Dlja detej tiran otec. Devy mukoj slez pravdivych Veseljatsja, kak igroj, I u nog samoljubivych Gibnut junoši tolpoj!.. Bratec, bratec! ty čto ž videl? Rasskaži mne poskorej!» — «Svet i ja voznenavidel I izmenčivych ljudej. Nošeju obmanov skrytych Junost' tam udručena, Vspominanij jadovitych Starost' mračnaja polna. Gordost', ver' ty mne, prekrasnoj Zabyvaetsja poroj, No izmena devy strastnoj — Nož dlja serdca vekovoj!..»
