Поздние гости отцветшего лета
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Поздние гости отцветшего лета,
Шепчутся ваши головки понурые,
Словно клянёте вы дни без просвета,
Словно пугают вас ноченьки хмурые...

Розы - вот те отцвели, да хоть жили...
Нечего вам помянуть пред кончиною:
Звёзды весенние вам не светили,
Песней не тешились вы соловьиною...

Automne
Language: French (Français)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Les fleurs tardives, penchant leur corolle,
Tristes regrettent l'été, qui s'envole.
Vous maudissez, ô fleurs, les jours pleins d'ombres ;
Vous redoutez, ô fleurs, les nuits trop sombres.

Roses charmantes, vous êtes flétries,
Mais rappelez-vous les aurores fleuries
Et du printemps les étoiles brillant aux cieux,
Quand s'élevait le chant des rossignols joyeux !
