by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Don
Language: Russian (Русский)
Blešča sred' polej širokich, Von on l'ëtsja!.. Zdravstvuj, Don! Ot synov tvoich dalëkich JA privëz tebe poklon. Kak proslavlennogo brata, Reki znajut tichij Don; Ot Araksa i Evfrata JA privëz tebe poklon. Otdochnuv ot zloj pogoni, Čuja rodinu svoju, P'jut uže donskie koni Arpačajskuju struju. Prigotov' že, Don zavetnyj, Dlja naezdnikov lichich Sok kipučij, iskrometnyj Vinogradnikov tvoich.
