by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Dva sokola
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Step`, sineya, rasstilalas`
Bliz Azovskix beregov.
Zapad gas, i noch` spuskalas`;
Vixr` skol`zil mezhdu xolmov.
I, tryaxnuvshis`, v pole dikom
Sery'j sokol tixo sel,
I k nemu s otvetny'm krikom
Brat streloyu priletel.
«Bratecz, bratecz, chto ty' videl?
Rasskazhi mne poskorej».
— «Ax, ya svet voznenavidel
I bezzhalostny'x lyudej».
— «Chto zh ty' videl tam xudogo?»
— «Kuchu kamenny'x serdecz:
Deve smex toska milógo,
Dlya detej tiran otecz.
Devy' mukoj slez pravdivy'x
Veselyatsya, kak igroj,
I u nog samolyubivy'x
Gibnut yunoshi tolpoj!..
Bratecz, bratecz! ty' chto zh videl?
Rasskazhi mne poskorej!»
— «Svet i ya voznenavidel
I izmenchivy'x lyudej.
Nosheyu obmanov skry'ty'x
Yunost` tam udruchena,
Vspominanij yadovity'x
Starost` mrachnaya polna.
Gordost`, ver` ty' mne, prekrasnoj
Zaby'vaetsya poroj,
No izmena devy' strastnoj —
Nozh dlya serdcza vekovoj!..»
