Dva sokola
Language: Russian (Русский)
Step', sineja, rasstilalas' Bliz Azovskikh beregov. Zapad gas, i noch' spuskalas'; Vikhr' skol'zil mezhdu kholmov. I, trjakhnuvshis', v pole dikom Seryj sokol tikho sel, I k nemu s otvetnym krikom Brat streloju priletel. «Bratec, bratec, chto ty videl? Rasskazhi mne poskorej». — «Akh, ja svet voznenavidel I bezzhalostnykh ljudej». — «Chto zh ty videl tam khudogo?» — «Kuchu kamennykh serdec: Deve smekh toska milógo, Dlja detej tiran otec. Devy mukoj slez pravdivykh Veseljatsja, kak igroj, I u nog samoljubivykh Gibnut junoshi tolpoj!.. Bratec, bratec! ty chto zh videl? Rasskazhi mne poskorej!» — «Svet i ja voznenavidel I izmenchivykh ljudej. Nosheju obmanov skrytykh Junost' tam udruchena, Vspominanij jadovitykh Starost' mrachnaja polna. Gordost', ver' ty mne, prekrasnoj Zabyvajetsja poroj, No izmena devy strastnoj — Nozh dlja serdca vekovoj!..»
