by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 - 1822)
Translation by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Смерть
 (Sung text for setting by S. Blumenfel'd)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the English 
Они умрут - и мертвым нет возврата.
К могиле их открытой Скорбь идет,
Седая, слабым голосом зовет
То друга, то любовника, то брата;
     Напрасен плач, напрасен стон,
Они ушли - и нет для них возврата,
От них остался только ряд имен.
Как тяжела родных сердец утрата!
