Na Kazbek
Language: Russian (Русский)
Na Kazbek sletelis' tuchi, Slovno gornye orly... Im navstrechu, na skaly Uzdenej otrjad letuchij Vyshe, vyshe, kruche, kruche Skachet, russkimi razbit: Sled ikh krov'ju kipit. Na khvostakh polki pogoni; Zanesen i shtyk, i mech; Smert'ju sejotsja kartech'... Net spasen'ja v sile, v brone... "Begu, begu, koni, koni!" Pali vy, - a daleka Krepost' gornogo leska!" Serdce nashikh - russkikh meta... Na kolena pal mulla - I molitva, kak strela, Do proroka Magometa, V more sveta, v nebo sveta, Poletela, poneslas': "Il'-Alla, ne vydaj nas!" Net spasen'ja niotkuda! Vdrug, po maniju nebes, Zashumel dalekij les: Vejot, pleshchet, katit grudoj, Nizhe, blizhe, chudo, chudo!.. Musul'mane spaseny Sred' lesistoj krutizny!
