Epicedium
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Все тоже небо, таж весна,
чудесной юности полна,
все теже думы у людей,
лишь новая в душе моей
досель мне чуждая печаль...
И плакать хочется и жаль
тревожить воплем в мирный день
мою возлюбленную тень.

Я буду плакать про себя,
и на холодного тебя польются
пламенныя слёзы,
как на листки увядшей розы
напрасно падает роса
Но теплая моя слеза
в холодном сумраке могилы
не возмутит тебя, мой милый!
