Vnimaja užasam vojny
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vnimaja užasam vojny, Pri každoj novoj žertve boja Mne žal' ne druga, ne ženy, Mne žal' ne samogo geroja… Uvy! utešitsja žena, I druga lučšij drug zabudet; No gde-to est' duša odna — Ona do groba pomnit' budet! Sred' licemernych našich del I vsjakoj pošlosti i prozy Odni ja v mire podsmotrel Svjatye, iskrennie slëzy — To slëzy bednych materej! Im ne zabyt' svoich detej, Pogibšich na krovavoj nive, Kak ne podnjat' plakučej ive Svoich poniknuvšich vetvej…
