by Mikhail Alekseyevich Kuzmin (1872 - 1936)

Kak pesnya materi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak pesnya materi
nad koly'bel`yu rebenka,
kak gornoe e`xo,
utrom na pastushij rozhok otozvavsheesya,
kak dalekij priboj
rodnogo, davno ne vidennogo morya,
zvuchit mne imya tvoyo
trizhdy' blazhennoe: Aleksandriya!

Kak prery'visty'j shepot
lyubovny'x pod dubami priznanij,
kak tainstvenny'j shum
tenisty'x roshh svyashhenny'x,
kak tamburin Kibely' velikoj,
podobny'j dal`nemu gromu i golubej vorkovan`yu,
zvuchit mne imya tvoyo
trizhdy' mudroe: Aleksandriya!

Kak zvuk truby' pered boem,
klekot orlov nad bezdnoj,
shum kry'l`ev letyashhej Niki,
zvuchit mne imya tvoyo
trizhdy' velikoe: Aleksandriya!
