Над свежей могилой
 (Sung text for setting by S. Rachmaninov)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Я вновь один - и вновь кругом 
Все та же ночь и мрак унылый.
И я в раздумьи роковом,
Стою над свежею могилой:
Чего мне ждать, к чему мне жить,
К чему бороться и трудиться:
Мне больше некого любить,
Мне больше некому молиться!...
[Памяти Н. М. Д.]
