by Anton Antonovich Delvig (1798 - 1831)

Не говори: любовь пройдёт
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Не говори: любовь пройдёт, -
о том забыть твой друг желает;
в её он вечность уповает,
ей в жертву счастье отдаёт.

Зачем гасить в душе моей
едва блеснувшие желанья?
Хоть миг позволь мне без роптанья
предаться нежности твоей.

За что страдать? Что мне в любви
досталось от небес жестоких
горьких слёз, без ран глубоких,
без утомительной тоски?

Любви дни краткие даны,
но мне не зреть её остылой;
я ней умру, как звук унылый
внезапно порванной струны.
