Zhaloba
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Nad prozrachnymi vodami Sidja, rval Uslad venok; I shumjashchimi volnami Unosil cvety potok. «Tak begut leta mladye Nevozvratnoju strujej; Tak vse radosti zemnye — Cvet uvjadshij polevoj. Akh! bezvremennoj toskoju Umershchvlen moj milyj cvet. Vse voskresnulo s vesnoju; Obnovilsja bozhij svet; Ja smotrju — i kholm veselyj I polja omracheny; Dlja dushi osiroteloj Net cvetushchija vesny. Chto v prirode, ozarennoj Krasotoju majskikh dnej? Jest' odna vo vsej vselennoj — K nej dusha, i mysl' ob nej; K nej stremlju, zabyvshis', ruki — Milyj prizrak proch' letit. Kto zh moi uslyshit muki, Zhazhdu serdca utolit?»
