by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Bestuzhev-Marlinsky (1797 - 1837)

Для чего ты, луч востока
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Для чего ты, луч востока,
Рано в сень мою запал?
Для чего ты стрелы ока
В грудь мне, юноша, послал?

Светит взор твой; не дремлю я;
Луч блеснул, и стон мой прочь!
Так сгорая и тоскуя,
Провожу я день и ночь!

У меня ли бархат ложе,
Изголовье - белый пух,
Сердца жар! И для кого же
Для кого, бесценный друг?
