by Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov, Grand Duke of Russia (1858 - 1915)
Несётся благовест... Как грустно и уныло
Language: Russian (Русский)
Несётся благовест... Как грустно и уныло На стороне чужой звучат колокола. Опять припомнился мне край отчизны милой, И прежняя тоска на сердце налегла. Я вижу север мой с его равниной снежной, И словно слышится мне нашего села Знакомый благовест: и ласково, и нежно С далекой родины гудят колокола.
