by Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov, Grand Duke of Russia (1858 - 1915)

Давно забытая под слоем пыли
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Давно забытая под слоем пыли, 
Умолкла лира... Песни молодые, 
Созвучья вдохновенные застыли, 
И порвалися струны золотые. 

Была пора... Со мною то же было: 
Недугом тягостным душа болела,
И всё в ней лучшее дремало, стыло…
Любить, надеяться она не смела... 

Но день придет: вернется вдохновенье, 
Вновь порванные струны натяну я, 
И вновь мое раздастся песнопенье, 
Денницу новой жизни торжествуя.
