Pustynja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Uže davno idu ja utomlennyj,
I na nebe už solnce vysoko;
A negde otdochnut' v stepi sožžennoj,
I vse eščë do celi daleko.
Ob"jataja bezmolviem i len'ju
Krugom pustynja skučnaja ležit...
Chot' veter by pachnul! Letučej ten'ju
I oblako na mig ne osvežit.
Vperëd, vperëd! Za step'ju bezotradnoj
Zelenyj sad, ja znaju, ždët menja;
Tam ja v teni dušistoj i prochladnoj
Najdu prijut ot plamennogo dnja;
Tam žizniju ja naslaždat'sja budu,
Beseduja s prirodoju živoj;
I otdochnu, i navsegda zabudu
Tosku puti, ležaščego za mnoj...
