by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Звонче жаворонка пенье
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Звонче жаворонка пенье,
Ярче вешние цветы,
Сердце полно вдохновенья,
Небо полно красоты.

Разорвав тоски оковы,
Цепи пошлые разбив,
Набегает жизни новой
Торжествующий прилив,

И звучит свежо и юно
Новых сил могучий строй,
Как натянутые струны
Между небом и землей.
