by Anton Antonovich Delvig (1798 - 1831)

Kak za rechen`koj slobodushka stoit
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak za rechen`koj slobodushka stoit,
Po slobodke toj dorozhen`ka bezhit,
Put`-dorozhka shiroka, da ne dlinna,
Razbegayotsya v dve storony' ona:
Kak nalevo — na kladbishhe k mertveczam,
A napravo — k zakavkazskim molodczam,
Grustno by'lo provozhat` mne, molodoj,
Dvux rodimy'x i po toj, i po drugoj:
Obruchal`nika po levoj provodya,
S plachem mater`yu-zemlej pokry'la ya;
A naletny'j drug uexal po drugoj,
Na proshhan`e mne kivnuvshi golovoj.
