by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Гроза
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ревёт гроза, дымятся тучи
Над темной бездною морской,
И хлещут пеною кипучей
Толпяся, волны меж собой.
Вкруг скал огнистой лентой вьется
Печальной молнии змея,
Стихий тревожный рой мятется —
И здесь стою недвижим я.

Стою — ужель тому ужасно
Стремленье всех надземных сил,
Кто в жизни чувствовал напрасно
И жизнию обманут был?
Вокруг кого, сей яд сердечный,
Вились сужденья клеветы,
Как вкруг скалы остроконечной,
Губитель-пламень, вьешься ты?

О нет!— летай, огонь воздушный,
Свистите, ветры, над главой;
Я здесь, холодный, равнодушный,
И трепет не знаком со мной.
