by Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky (1783 - 1852)

Putešestvennik
Language: Russian (Русский) 
1 Dnej moich eščë vesnoju
Otčij dom pokinul ja,
Vse zabyto bylo mnojui 
Semejstvo, i druz'ja.

V rize strannika ubogoj, 
S detskoj v serdce prostotoj,
JA pošël putem-dorogoj -
Vera byl vožatyj moj.

2. I v nadežde, v uveren'e
Put' kazalsja nedalek.
-- Strannik, -- slyšalos', -- terpen'e!
Prjamo, prjamo na vostok.

Ty uvidiš' chram čudesnyj, 
Ty v svjatilišče vojdeš' ;
Tam v netlennosti nebesnoj
Vse zemnoe obreteš'.

3. Utro večerom smenjalos',
Večer utru ustupal ;
Neizvestnoe skryvalos' ;
JA iskal -- ne obretal.

Tam vstrečalis' mne pučiny ;
Zdes' vysokich gor chrebty ;
JA vzbiralsja na stremniny ;
Črez potoki stlal mosty. 

4. V drug reka peredo mnoju --
Vod sklonen'e na vostok ;
Vižu zyblemyj strueju
Podle berega čelnok.

JA v nadežde, ja v smjaten'e
Predaju sebja volnam :
Sčast'e vižu v otdalen'e ;
Vse, čto milo, mnitsja, tam !

5. Ach !  V bezvestnom okeane
Očutilsja moj čelnok ;
Dal' po-prežnemu v tumane ;
Breg nevidim i dalek.

I voveki nado mnoju
Ne sol'etsja, kak podnes',
Nebo svetloe s zemleju ...
Tam ne budet večno zdes'.
