Текст песни М. Ю. Лермонтов - Мцыри 16 глава

Do you remember childhood years:
I have never known tears;
But then I cried without shame.
Who could see? Only a dark forest
Yes, a month floating in the middle of heaven!
Illuminated by its ray
Covered in moss and sand
Impenetrable wall
Surrounded, in front of me
There was a clearing. Suddenly in her
A shadow flashed, and two lights
Sparks flew ... and then
Some beast in one jump
I jumped out of the thicket and lay down,
As you play, lie back on the sand.
That was the eternal guest of the desert -
Mighty leopard. Raw bone
He gnawed and squealed merrily;
That bloody gaze fixed,
Waving her tail gently
For a full month - and on it
The coat was silver.
I was waiting, grabbing a horned bitch,
A minute of battle; heart suddenly
Ignited with a thirst for struggle
And blood ... yes, the hand of fate
I was led in a different way ...
But now I'm sure
What could be in the land of fathers
Not the last daredevil.
