The Poet's Echo, Op. 76: No. 1, Echo

Revetli zver´ v lesu glukhom,

Trubit lirog, gremit li grom,

Poyot li deva za kholmom—

Na vsyakiy zvuk, na vsyakiy zvuk

Svoy otklik v vozdukhe pustom

Rodish´ tï vdrug, rodish´ tï vdrug.

Tï vnemlesh´ grokhotu gromov,

I glasu buri i valov,

I kriku sel´skikh pastukhov—

I shlyosh´ otvet, i shlyosh´ otvet, i shlyosh´ otvet,

Tebe zh net otzïva,—tebe zh net otzïva—

Takov I tï, poet! poet!
