ОПЪЛЧЕНЦИТЕ НА ШИПКА
11 август 1877

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipka_Monument

Нека носим йоще срама по челото,
синила от бича, следи от теглото;
нека спомен люти от дни на позор
да висне кат облак в наший кръгозор;
нека ни отрича исторйята, века,
нека е трагично името ни; нека
Беласица стара и новий Батак
в миналото наше фърлят своя мрак;
нека да ни сочат с присмехи обидни
счупенте окови и дирите стидни
по врата ни още от хомота стар;
нека таз свобода да ни бъде дар!
Нека. Но ний знаем, че в нашто недавно
свети нещо ново, има нещо славно,
що гордо разтупва нашите гърди
и в нас чувства силни, големи плоди;
защото там нейде навръх планината,
що небето синьо крепи с рамената,
издига се някой див, чутовен връх,
покрит с бели кости и със кървав мъх
на безсмъртен подвиг паметник огромен;
защото в Балкана има един спомен,
има едно име, що вечно живей
и в нашта исторья кат легенда грей,
едно име ново, голямо антично,
като Термопили славно, безгранично,
що отговор дава и смива срамът,
и на клеветата строшава зъбът.

О, Шипка!

Три деня младите дружини
как прохода бранят. Горските долини
трепетно повтарят на боя ревът.
Пристъпи ужасни! Дванайсетий път
гъсти орди лазят по урвата дива
и тела я стелят, и кръв я залива.
Бури подир бури! Рояк след рояк!
Сюлейман безумний сочи върха пак
и вика: "Търчете! Тамо са раите!"
И ордите тръгват с викове сърдити,
и "Аллах!" гръмовно въздуха разпра.
Върхът отговаря с други вик: ура!
И с нов дъжд куршуми, камъни и дървье;
дружините наши, оплискани с кърви,
пушкат и отблъскват, без сигнал, без ред,
всякой гледа само да бъде напред
и гърди геройски на смърт да изложи,
и един враг повеч мъртъв да положи.
Пушкалата екнат. Турците ревът,
насипи налитат и падат, и мрът; -
Идат като тигри, бягат като овци
и пак се зарвъщат; българи, орловци
кат лъвове тичат по страшний редут,
не сещат ни жега, ни жажда, ни труд.
Щурмът е отчаян, отпорът е лют.
Три дни веч се бият, но помощ не иде,
от никъде взорът надежда не види
и братските орли не фърчат към тях.
Нищо. Те ще паднат, но честно, без страх -
кат шъпа спартанци под сганта на Ксеркса.
Талазите идат; всичките нащрек са!
Последният напън вече е настал.
Тогава Столетов, наший генерал,
ревна гороломно: "Млади опълченци,
венчайте България с лаврови венци!
на вашата сила царят повери
прохода, войната и себе дори!"
При тез думи силни дружините горди
очакват геройски душманските орди
бесни и шумещи! О, геройски час!
Вълните намират канари тогаз,
патроните липсват, но волите траят,
щикът се пречупва - гърдите остаят
и сладката радост до крак да измрът
пред цяла вселена, на тоз славен рът,
с една смърт юнашка и с една победа.
"България цяла сега нази гледа,
тоя връх висок е: тя ще ни съзре,
ако би бегали: да мрем по-добре!"
Няма веч оръжье! Има хекатомба!
Всяко дърво меч е, всякой камък - бомба,
всяко нещо - удар, всяка душа - плам.
Камъне и дървье изчезнаха там.
"Грабайте телата!" - някой си изкряска
и трупове мъртви фръкнаха завчаска
кат демони черни над черний рояк,
катурят, струпалят като живи пак!
И турците тръпнат, друг път не видели
ведно да се бият живи и умрели,
и въздуха цепят със демонский вик.
Боят се обръща на смърт и на щик,
героите наши като скали твърди
желязото срещат с железни си гърди
и фърлят се с песни в свирепата сеч,
като виждат харно, че умират веч...
Но вълни по-нови от орди дивашки
гълтат, потопяват орляка юнашки...
Йоще миг - ще падне заветният хълм.
Изведнъж Радецки пристигна със гръм.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
И днес йощ Балканът, щом буря зафаща,
спомня тоз ден бурен, шуми и препраща
славата му дивна като някой ек
от урва на урва и от век на век!

The Witches Hud - New Release - Fixes: For some reason the broom travelled backwards in opensimulator 0.9.2.2. I fixed this. Also the arcane meeting place was phantom even though it wasn't set to phantom. I fixed this too. Get yours here: login.friends-grid.com:8002:Textures Trees, & Scripts at the Wizardry store. :) NOTE: if you try too use arcane spell above 4000 it will kick you out. For some reason you must only cast [Arcane] between 1 and 3999 meters high. It's a limitation of opensimulator. *The huds are hidden at the Wizardry store behind a secret bookcase. :) PLEASE RESET THE SCRIPTS IN THE HUD AND THE ATTACHMENT SO THEY WORK. You may have to take the objects off and wear them a second time to imprint them with your id and start them working. Note: If you cast spells on your friend, please don't harass them. It only works on your land b/c you dont have rights on other peoples lands unless they allow it.

Neverworld has FREE parcels for all and not little "houses either" Our Free land for all allows them to live away from the greedy grids and have decent sized parcels 4000 meters and up in a fully developed professionally curated region. Stop living like a pauper and get your free land no strings now. We have over 500 parcels to choose from!
