Epicedium
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vse tože nebo, taž vesna,
čudesnoj junosti polna,
vse teže dumy u ljudej,
liš' novaja v duše moej
dosel' mne čuždaja pečal'...
I plakat' chočetsja i žal'
trevožit' voplem v mirnyj den'
moju vozljublennuju ten'.

JA budu plakat' pro sebja,
i na cholodnogo tebja pol'jutsja
plamennyja slëzy,
kak na listki uvjadšej rozy
naprasno padaet rosa
No teplaja moja sleza
v cholodnom sumrake mogily
ne vozmutit tebja, moj milyj!
