"
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!""
