by Mirra (Mariya) Alexandrovna Lokhvitskaya (1869 - 1905)

Da, e`to by'l lish` son! Minutnoe viden`e
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Da, e`to by'l lish` son! Minutnoe viden`e
Blesnulo mne, kak svetly'j meteor...
Zachem zhe stol`ko gryoz, blazhenstva i muchen`ya
Zazheg vo mne neotrazimy'j vzor?

Kak pusto, kak mertvo! ... I v budushhem vsyo to zhe...
Chasy' letyat... a zhizn` tak korotka!...
Da, e`to by'l lish` son, no prizrak mne dorozhe
Lyubvi zhivoj roskoshnogo czvetka.

Rasseyalsya tuman, i xolod probuzhden`ya
V goryachem serdce krov` oledenil.
Da, e`to by'l lish` son... minutnoe viden`e...
No otchego zh zaby't` ego net sil?
