by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Byt' mozhet uzh ne dolgo mne
Language: Russian (Русский)
Byt' mozhet, uzh ne dolgo mne V izgnan'i mirnom ostavat'sja, Vzdykhat' o miloj starine I sel'skoj muze v tishine Dushoj bespechnoj predavat'sja. No i v dali, v kraju chuzhom Ja budu mysliju vsegdashnej, Brodit' Trigorskogo krugom, V lugakh u rechki, [nad]1 kholmom, V sadu pod sen'ju lip [domashnikh]2. Kogda zh pomerknet jasnyj den', [S odna]3 iz glubiny mogil'noj, [Kak]4 inogda v rodnuju sen' Letit toskujushchaja ten' Na milykh brosit' vzor [umil'nyj]5.
