by Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky (1783 - 1852)

Puteshestvennik
Language: Russian (Русский) 
1 Dnej moikh jeshchjo vesnoju
Otchij dom pokinul ja,
Vse zabyto bylo mnojui 
Semejstvo, i druz'ja.

V rize strannika ubogoj, 
S detskoj v serdce prostotoj,
Ja poshjol putem-dorogoj -
Vera byl vozhatyj moj.

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

Ty uvidish' khram chudesnyj, 
Ty v svjatilishche vojdesh' ;
Tam v netlennosti nebesnoj
Vse zemnoje obretesh'.

3. Utro vecherom smenjalos',
Vecher utru ustupal ;
Neizvestnoje skryvalos' ;
Ja iskal -- ne obretal.

Tam vstrechalis' mne puchiny ;
Zdes' vysokikh gor khrebty ;
Ja vzbiralsja na stremniny ;
Chrez potoki stlal mosty. 

4. V drug reka peredo mnoju --
Vod sklonen'e na vostok ;
Vizhu zyblemyj strujeju
Podle berega chelnok.

Ja v nadezhde, ja v smjaten'e
Predaju sebja volnam :
Schast'e vizhu v otdalen'e ;
Vse, chto milo, mnitsja, tam !

5. Akh !  V bezvestnom okeane
Ochutilsja moj chelnok ;
Dal' po-prezhnemu v tumane ;
Breg nevidim i dalek.

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