by Aleksandr Ivanovich Polezhayev (1804 - 1838)

Grust'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na piru u zhizni shumnoj,
V carstve junoj krasoty
Rval ja zhadnost'ju bezumnoj
Blagovonnye cvety.
Mnogo chuvstva, mnogo zhizni
Ja roskoshno poterjal
I dushevnoj ukorizny,
Mozhet byt', ne izbezhal.
Otchego zh ne s sozhalen'em,
Otchego - skazhite mne, -
No s nevol'nym voskhishchen'em
Vspomnil ja o starine?
Otchego zhe lokon chjornyj,
`Etot lokon smoljanoj,
Den' i noch', kak dukh upornyj,
Vsjo mel'kajet predo mnoj?
Otchego, kak v polden' jasnyj
Golubye nebesa,
Mne tainstvenno prekrasny
`Eti chjornye glaza?
Pochemu zhe golos sladkoj,
`Etot golos nezemnoj,
L'jotsja v dushu mne ukradkoj
Garmonicheskoj volnoj?
Chto trevozhit dukh unylyj,
Manit k schastiju menja?
Akh, ne vspykhnet nad mogiloj
Iskra prezhnego ognja!
Otleteli zabluzhdenij
Nevozvratnye roi -
I ja mjortv dlja naslazhdenij,
I ugas ja dlja ljubvi!
Serdce ishchet, serdce prosit
Posle buri ugolka;
No mol'by jego raznosit
Bezotradnaja toska!
