Menisk

Language: Russian

Na myse tom dikom, uvenchannom bednoj osokoj,
Pokrytom kustarnikom vetkhim i zeljon'ju sosen,
Pechal'nyj Menisk, prestarelyj rybak, skhoronil 
Pogibshego syna. Jego vzlelejalo more, 
Ono zhe jego i prijalo v shirokoje lono,
I na bereg berezhno vyneslo mertvoje telo.
Oplakavshi syna, otec pod razvesistoj ivoj
Mogilu jemu iskopal i, [nakryv jejo]1 kamnem,
Pletenuju vershu iz ivy nad neju povesil --
Ugrjumoj ikh bednosti pamjatnik skudnyj!
