by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Vsesil'noj voleju allakha
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vsesil'noj voleju allakha,
Dajushchego nam znoj i sneg,
My vozvratilis' s Chatyrdakha
Blagopoluchno na nochleg.
Vse nalico, vse bez uvech'ja:
Chto znachit lovkost' chelovech'ja!
A priznajus', kogda my tam
Polzli, kak mukhi, po skalam,
To mne nemnogo bylo zhutko:
Sorvat'sja vniz plokhaja shutka!

Gussejn, poslushaj, pomogi
Stashchit' mne `eti sapogi,
Oni potreskalis' ot zhara;
Da chto zh ne vidno samovara?
Skhodi za nim; a ty, Ali,
Kostjor skoreje zapali.
Postelim skaterti u morja,
Dostanem rom, zavarim chaj,
I vse vozljazhem na prostore
Smotret', kak plamja, s noch'ju sporja,
Pomerknet, vspykhnet nevznachaj
I ozarit do poloviny
Dubov zeljonye vershiny,
Peschanyj bereg, vodopad,
Krutykh utjosov groznyj rjad,
Ot peny belyj i revushchij
Iz mraka vybezhavshij val
I pereputannogo pljushcha
Koncy, visjashchije so skal.
