Pevecz
Language: Russian (Русский)
V teni derev, nad chisty'mi vodami
Dernovy'j xolm vy' vidite l`, druz`ya?
Chut` sly'shno tam pleskaet v breg struya;
Chut` veterok tam dy'shit mezh listami;
Na vetvyax lira i venecz...
Uvy'! druz`ya, sej xolm - mogila;
Zdes` prax pevcza zemlya sokry'la;
Bedny'j pevecz!
