by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)

Что, умерла, жива? Потише говорите
Language: Russian (Русский) 
  (С французского)

«Что, умерла, жива? Потише говорите,
Быть может, удалось на время ей заснуть…»
И кто-то предложил: ребёнка принесите
‎И положите ей на грудь!
И вот на месте том, где прежде сердце билось,
‎Ребёнок с плачем скрыл лицо своё…
О, если и теперь она не пробудилась, —
‎Всё кончено, молитесь за неё!
