by Aleksey Stepanovich Khomyakov (1804 - 1860)

Ya videl son, chto budto ya pevecz
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ya videl son, chto budto ya pevecz, 
I chto pevecz - prechudnoe yavlen`e, 
I chto v pevce na vse svoyo tvoren`e
Vsevy'shnij polozhil venecz.
     
YA videl son, chto budto ya pevecz, 
I pod perstom moim dy'shali struny', 
I zvuki ix gremeli kak peruny', 
Streloj vonzalisya vo glubinu serdecz.
     
I kak v stepi gluxoj zhivy'e vody', 
Tak pesn` moya laskala zhadny'j slux;
V nej sly'shen by'l i tajny'j glas prirody', 
I [smertno gor``e]1 paryashhij dux.
     
No chas nastal. Menya vo grob sokry'li, 
Moi usta mogil`ny'j xlad skoval;
No iz mogil`noj t`my',  iz xladnoj py'li, 
Gremela pesn` i sladkij glas zvuchal.
     
Veka proshli, i plemena drugie
Pokry'li kraj, gde prax pevcza lezhal;
No ne zamolkli struny' zoloty'e, 
I sladkij glas po-prezhnemu zvuchal.
     
YA videl son, chto budto ya pevecz, 
I chto pevecz - prechudnoe yavlen`e, 
I chto v pevce na vse svoe tvoren`e
Vsevy'shnij polozhil venecz.
