by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Недвижные очи, безумные очи
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Недвижные очи, безумные очи,
Зачем вы средь дня и в часы полуночи
Так жадно вперяетесь вдаль?
Ужели вы в том потонули минувшем,
Давно и мгновенно пред вами мелькнувшем,
Которого сердцу так жаль?

Не высмотреть вам, чего нет и что было,
Что сердце, тоскуя, в себе схоронило
На самое тёмное дно;
Не вам допросить у случайности жадной,
Куда она скрыла рукой беспощадной,
Что было так щедро дано!
