by René-François Sully-Prudhomme (1839 - 1907)
Translation by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)

Разбитая ваза
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the French (Français) 
Ты вазу, где цветок ты сберегала нежный,
Ударом веера толкнула ты небрежно
И трещина едва заметная на ней осталась.
С тех пор прошло немного дней,

Небрежность детская твоя давно забыта,
А вазе уж грозит нежданная беда:
Увял её цветок, ушла её вода...
Не тронь её, она разбита.

Так сердца моего коснулась ты рукой,
Рукою нежной и любимой.
И с той поры, как от обиды злой,
Остался след на нём неизгладимый.

Попрежнему и бъётся, и живёт,
От всех его страданье скрыто,
Но рана глубока, и каждый день растёт...
Не тронь его: оно разбито.
