by Arseny Arkad'yevich Golenishchev-Kutuzov (1848 - 1913)

Orjol
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V razdum'e, gordom i nemom,
Vperiv v prostranstvo vzor glubokij,
Orjol na kamne polevom
Sidel, kak strannik odinokij.

Kriklivykh ptic vrazhdebnyj roj
Nad golovoj jego kruzhilsja,
I vikhr', vzmetaja prakh zemnoj,
Krugom ispuganno nosilsja.

No nedvizhim pitomec skal.
Ne vnemlja sujetnomu shumu,
Orjol na kamne otdykhal
I dumal carstvennuju dumu.

Kogda zh, ochnuvshis', ogljanul
Ves' `etot zhalkij mir bessil'ja,
Zatoskovav, on razvernul
Sedye, medlennye kryl'ja.

I car' poludennykh vysot,
Sluchajnyj gost' zemli pechal'noj –
Napravil vol'nyj svoj poljot
Za grani tuch, k lazuri dal'noj...

Vysoko ot tshchety zemnoj
Voznjossja, prakhu nepodvlastnyj,
I, k dol'noj zhizni bezuchastnyj,
Ischeznul v bezdne goluboj.
