Не плачь, мой друг
 (Sung text for setting by A. Arensky)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Не плачь, мой друг, о счастьи отлетевшем,
Его, увы, слезами не вернуть!
Оно огням подобно догоревшим,
Тебя на миг, на кроткий миг согревшим —
    ‎Прости... забудь...

Забудь о том, как счастие нежданно
Тебя своим коснулося лучом,
И вместо мглы, холодной и туманной,
Повеяло весной благоуханной,
    Пахнуло  ...  светом и теплом.

 ... 

Забудь, каким страданьем и тоскою
Полна теперь измученная грудь,
Какой пришлось платить тебе ценою
За счастья миг, у жизни взятой с бою!
    Забудь, забудь!
