Вопрос
 (Sung text for setting by S. Lyapunov)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Зачем кипит в груди негодованье,
Зачем глаза горючих слез полны,
Когда уста на мертвое молчанье,
Когда мечты на смерть обречены!
Зачем в крови струится жизни сила,
Когда вовек ей не стяжать побед,
Зачем ладья, когда в ней нет ветрила,
Зачем вопрос, когда ответа нет!..
