by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Мы пьём из чаши бытия
Language: Russian (Русский)
Мы пьём из чаши бытия С закрытыми очами, Златые омочив края Своими же слезами; Когда же перед смертью с глаз Завязка упадает, И всё, что обольщало нас, С завязкой исчезает; Тогда мы видим, что пуста Была златая чаша, Что в ней напиток был — мечта, И что она — не наша!
