Kein Wort und keinen Hauch
Language: German (Deutsch)
Kein Wort und keinen Hauch -- Wir wollen schweigen. Die Trauerweiden, die sich neigen Auf Leichensteine, schweigen auch. Sie neigen sich und lesen, Wie ich auf deinen Wangen: Es ist ein Glück gewesen Und ist vorbei gegangen.

Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Ни слова, о друг мой, ни вздоха... Мы будем с тобой молчаливы... Ведь молча над камнем могильным Склоняются грустные ивы... И только, склонившись, читают, Как я в твоём взоре усталом, Что были дни ясного счастья... Что этого счастья -- не стало!
