Epicedium
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vse tozhe nebo, tazh vesna,
chudesnoj yunosti polna,
vse tezhe dumy' u lyudej,
lish` novaya v dushe moej
dosel` mne chuzhdaya pechal`...
I plakat` xochetsya i zhal`
trevozhit` voplem v mirny'j den`
moyu vozlyublennuyu ten`.

YA budu plakat` pro sebya,
i na xolodnogo tebya pol`yutsya
plamenny'ya slyozy',
kak na listki uvyadshej rozy'
naprasno padaet rosa
No teplaya moya sleza
v xolodnom sumrake mogily'
ne vozmutit tebya, moj mily'j!
