by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

I skuchno i grustno
Language: Russian (Русский) 
I skuchno i grustno, i nekomu ruku podat'
  V minutu dushevnoj nevzgody...
Zhelan'ja! ... chto pol'zy naprasno i vechno zhelat'? ...
  A gody prokhodjat - vse luchshije gody!

Ljubit'... no kogo zhe? ... na vremja - ne stoit truda,
  A vechno ljubit' nevozmozhno.
V sebja li zagljanjosh'? -- Tam proshlogo net i sleda:
  I radost', i muki, i vsjo tam nichtozhno...

Chto strasti? -- ved' rano il' pozdno ikh sladkij nedug
  Ischeznet pri slove rassudka;
I zhizn', kak pozmotrish' s kholodnym vniman'em vokrug --
  Takaja pustaja i glupaja shutka...
