by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
Translation by Lev L'vovich Kobylinsky (1889 - 1947), as Ellis

Среди врагов
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Мой черёд... На месте лобном
Петля страшная висит,
Молча в нетерпеньи злобном
Вкруг толпа врагов стоит;

Молча, с бородою красной,
Встал палач передо мной.
Но смеётся разум мой,
,,Всё, я знаю, всё напрасно!``

Я смеюсь, в лицо врагу
Я кричу: ,,Я жил, страдая,
Непрестанно умирая,
Умереть я не могу!

Сотни раз живой скелет,
Жалкий червь во тьме могилы.
Вновь я жизнь и дух и свет,
И дыханье новой силы!``
