Language: Russian (Русский)
Vnimaja uzhasam vojny, Pri kazhdoj novoj zhertve boja Mne zhal' ne druga, ne zheny, Mne zhal' ne samogo geroja… Uvy! uteshitsja zhena, I druga luchshij drug zabudet; No gde-to jest' dusha odna — Ona do groba pomnit' budet! Sred' licemernykh nashikh del I vsjakoj poshlosti i prozy Odni ja v mire podsmotrel Svjatye, iskrennije sljozy — To sljozy bednykh materej! Im ne zabyt' svoikh detej, Pogibshikh na krovavoj nive, Kak ne podnjat' plakuchej ive Svoikh poniknuvshikh vetvej…
